The problem with this picture though is you’re spending 10 grand a month on a product someone else is losing 10 grand a month selling you. It’s beginning to look like a house of cards. The finances of many of these companies are on shaky grounds and they claim “profit” without accounting for the true costs of what they’re doing (eg not counting model training in the COGS when the useful life of a model in 2025 is very limited). When investors realize the returns won’t be there and shut off the free cash taps the party will be over.

The problem generally starts with “we need our own nuclear power plants to power this tech.”

For the geeky non-serious sci-fi kid in me it's wild to live in the future, where there is serious talks of building independent from the grid nuclear power plants to power AIs. Because one of the big things from all the pre-thinking about AI was that we definitely DON'T want to be able to turn their power off remotely. Glad removing that capability is already in the plan. Totally doesn't seem sketchy.
