It looks like MS spent $80,000,000,000 just to make sure its competitors don’t have access to hardware.
By the time it builds the necessary data centers those chips will be obsolete.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

Hello! Apologies for the title but the video does not discuss about just Microsoft chips but also about economics around AI and other factors in general which I thought you guys may want to listen to.
Wow, I'm certain that had no effect on demand, asking for chips you don't need just to keep them out of the hands of consumers.
We should be having trials, it's pure manipulation.
Is it just me or does it seem every week Zuckerberg has an $80B bill to pay?
90 minutes? Somebody with some time on their hands care to give a tldr?
Power hookup shortages have created an $80b backlog in Azure fullfilment. Nadela has said he has chips in inventory with nowhere to plug them in. It doesn't mean $80b in GPUs though.
Thanks
