The irony of people setting New Years Resolutions to drink less only to start the year with a debilitating hangover

This is just the Cloud 2.0 and you can’t convince me otherwise Nobody knew or thought Cloud infra would be as profitable as it is today
You only need one chart to know why the $400B in data AI capex from $meta $msft $amzn and $goog will never see a return

$1 Trillion in CAPEX for hyper-personalized slop

Claude's limits are actually dogshit It's so clear they're trying to get profitable ASAP We already know their AWS costs are >100% of revenue today But at least try and disguise these weak limits

Why Microsoft & OpenAI's re-negotiation is more important than people realize >Microsoft & OpenAI re-negotiate partnership >Microsoft now has first right of refusal on providing OAI new capacity >Microsoft no longer required to subsidize unlimited GPUs compute >Stargate fills in to meet OAI demand and needs >SoftBank steps in to fund up to $40B >OpenAI projects losses may expand up to $20B in 2027 Microsoft just dodged the bullet of being permanently tied to OpenAI's capacity growth They now will continue to benefit from overall partnership while outsourcing the CAPEX It's not because Satya is now bearish on the AI Arms Race, it no longer made financial sense because this will not be a "winner take all market" With Open Source and model competition and diversity, it's the end customers choice. I am calling it right now, SoftBank will get caught holding the bag on trying to support OpenAI's endless compute growth

Prediction was spot on. Just didn’t realize OpenAI would do it themselves vs. the consumer apps
You can now chat with apps in ChatGPT.

Replying to @The_AI_Investor
If you believe AMD can capture market share on inferencing workloads, then they’re incredibly undervalued relative to NVIDIA (I believe they will gain share massively)

Every company I work with I continue to see this Maybe Dario was onto something
All I can say is from what I see in the field, companies are foaming at the mouth from the thought of being able to replace headcount with AI Doesn’t matter the industry The is representative of a small sample of public companies

Who knows more about AI and the threat to the industry? Morgan Stanley or Adobe Basically ignore this and Adobe will do fine
Morgan Stanley warns that Adobe, a 42-year-old software giant, faces severe downside risk if it fails to monetize AI quickly or if competitors leap ahead. Adopt AI or lose everything.

You will watch the slop and be happy anon
Excited to share Vibes — a new feed in the Meta AI app for short-form, AI-generated videos.

I don’t think I’ve said a truer statement
never been more obvious what the next move is gonna be yes it’s ads

If you think OpenAI is somehow going to make it out the other end profitable, I have a bridge to sell you
The scale of the data center built today has reached unprecedented levels. Since 2010, when Azure was first commercially available, until the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, $MSFT has spent $124.2B in Total CapEx as a company (not just data center). Today, we are talking about a single AI research company spending $MSFT's entire 12-year total CapEx in one year.

There was some quote Satya said once that Azure added more capacity in the last quarter than the first 5 years of Azure combined The Hyperscalers are at incredible scale
people now talk about GW data center like it's nothing but that used to be around 1/4 of AWS' GLOBAL footprint in ~2020

I work with customers every day and talk about this problem The issue is the IT organization wants to build some pet project use cases rather than fully understand what the business units are actually trying to solve Plus, 95% of organizations don’t even track their success metrics today. How are they supposed to even get value realization if they can’t measure anything meaningful?
95% of organizations in a new MIT study found zero return despite enterprise investment of $30 billion to $40 billion into GenAI, per Axios.
