These short sighted fools are only buying 100% of what computing components being made in the next few years. I've claimed the entire production output of the human race for the next 10,000 years. Get good

It's not so much about being short-sighted as being greedy con-artists: the longer they maintain the illusion AI will eventually work and be profitable, the more money in their own pocket.

They stopped at one year to keep investors on that thin line between a state of too much confidence so they stop investing more and say they poured enough money for AI companies to break even, and the state where they lose hope and cut their losses.
