skeezyboi··on Fiber lasts decades, GPUs last three years: the AI boom isn't the dot-com boom [video]
its a false equivalence.... the dotcom boom wasnt just a fibre rollout, it was all the internet company startups that were overpriced and crashed. no doubt some of the hyperscalars will get busted out, but the models and LLMs are here to stay. just like dot com websites didnt disappear after the dot com crash, neither will AI transformer models
