absolutely. like, i know it objectively, sam altman doesn't have enough compute or power to deliver the things he promised last time. microsoft is not going to build him his own nuclear reactor, no matter how often he asks. the blackwell chip still sets itself on fire due to the limits of the materials it is made of.

i just worry that it doesn't matter, they are going to effortlessly transition to quantum or whatever the next hyperscaler hopium is, the economy is going to crater but we are all going to have to pretend that it isn't happening. we will have to walk around saying that ai was a success in order to preserve the self-mythology of vapour-huffers like prabhakar raghavan and, and, like, peter theil or whoever, so they don't order their unwashed, barefoot partyboy palmer luckey to drone-strike several blocks of public housing.
