AI companies just borrow more money to keep spending at a rediculous rate. The price of components don’t seem to be slowing them down. These companies just keep throwing money at the problem with no profit in sight. Until the faucet on the money gets turned off it won’t matter what their expenses are.
But that’s a good thing though
Oh no, the super rich will get slightly less rich for a few years
Don’t threaten me with a good time
We need more solar.
Oh no! Anyway…
The imagination that the AI bros will be knocked off their cloud because of a var that dries up required resources for the productions of semiconductors would be hilaaaaaaarious. Yes, ew will suffer even more, probably, but…
I just wanna see the AI bros suffer a little. :3
The boom that was a bubble about to go pop? That one?
Good. F AI and billionaires who found a new cash well
Reject AI for the good of your species
Pesky petrodollar disrupting the fractal mandala investment scheme. Don’t these window-opening warmongers understand we’re hotboxing futurist delusion in here?
Oh no.
Anyway..
At least in China, they have regulation regarding green power and new AI data centers. It may effect more in US.
Guys! Think about the AI! What about the AI?
Oh no, not that. And memory prices would drop, and the rich would suffer losses? Oil companies however, record profits, somehow.
And postpone humanity’s obliteration?! Noooo!
Well, now if the ai fails guaranteed government bail out.
Uh-oh. Looks like someone has angered Roko’s basalisk…
GOOD 👍 Slop’s gotta stop.
Stop threatening me with such a good time!
There is a silver lining then.
or push AI to renewables although that would one massive solar panel 🤔
I hope the AI boom tanks and goes up in flames.
Then it’ll be the only good thing to come out of the whole sorry affair
Please kill AI. Please.
honestly the energy cost pressure might end up being a good thing for the actual tech. every time compute gets expensive it forces labs to invest in efficiency instead of just brute forcing bigger models. deepseek showed you can get like 90% of frontier performance on a fraction of the compute. if oil stays high itll just accelerate the shift to smaller distilled models and cheaper inference, which is what actually matters for real world usage anyway
No worries, AI won’t allow that. 2029 is coming…
Oh no… I’m bummed.
One of two good things this horrible war will do. ‘Crimp’ AI and push for renewables.
So, there is INDEED a silver lining to all this negative caos.
we thought nothing could beat ai…..turns out the biggest threat to ai is its own electricity bill………..
Sounds like a good thing!!!
„Oh no you guys, Turns out AI isn’t profitable and it’s oil’s fault!“ – Soon
Oh dear, billionaires will be slightly slowed in their siphoning off the world’s cash to their giant dragon hoards.
Don’t temp me with a good time
Am I… suddenly for high oil prices?
