Yeah, that’ll happen.
While AI bubble talk fills the air these days, with fears of overinvestment that could pop at any time, something of a contradiction is brewing on the ground: Companies like Google and OpenAI can barely build infrastructure fast enough to fill their AI needs.
During an all-hands meeting earlier this month, Google’s AI infrastructure head Amin Vahdat told employees that the company must double its serving capacity every six months to meet demand for artificial intelligence services, reports CNBC. The comments show a rare look at what Google executives are telling its own employees internally. Vahdat, a vice president at Google Cloud, presented slides to its employees showing the company needs to scale “the next 1000x in 4-5 years.”
While a thousandfold increase in compute capacity sounds ambitious by itself, Vahdat noted some key constraints: Google needs to be able to deliver this increase in capability, compute, and storage networking “for essentially the same cost and increasingly, the same power, the same energy level,” he told employees during the meeting. “It won’t be easy but through collaboration and co-design, we’re going to get there.”
so… it’ll collapse in 6 months?
puts a bunch of AI features in, turns them on by default without user’s asking for them, mandates employees use it when ever they can.
“How could this be a bubble? Look at all the demand!”
“demand” 😒👌🏻

So…no different from shareholders. Nothing changes while everything changes.
I’m really high and at first glance saw all the colorful pipes as like a 90s McDonalds play area.
I feel like that interpretation made this whole article ~70% less silly.
