Probably conservative DESU. I would be surprised if we don’t hit 2 trillion next year already.

Elon musk just said they would install at least 10GW of Vera Rubin next year, which means 500 billion to NVIDIA alone from one customer. He said their goal is double that.

I’m not saying he will hit it. But I am saying that those who think it’s a bubble: we have t seen nothing yet. The next 2 years may get a bit crazy
>>
why dont they just spend the money on trying to build the tallest possible structure. like build something 50 miles high. then buy a plane ticket for everyone in the world and have all 8 billion people come to this one city where they light the 50 mile high strucutre on fire and it topples over partially out into space everyone on earth gets to see what that looks like. that sounds like a better use of 2 trillion dollars

amazon make trainium chips
anthropic user very little to no nvidia and until recently, trainium was basically the only thing they were using
amazon is also a major investor in anthropic
and while the buildout is happening, amazon will collect plenty of money from ant renting out servers, but they also have to pay for the up front infra costs

i'm an ai bull tho, so i think all these companies will make enormous amounts of money eventually tho

Big Tech have their own internal models. They're not OpenAI's customers. And the largest pharma in the world is not even half the market cap of Amazon. Also Big Pharma will have their own internal model because they can afford it and they have a more specialized use case. Where's the money?

imagine the world we would live in if they had invested that much in roads, energy plants and factories instead. There would be a real industrial revival instead.

so what are they going to do when they spend all this money on chips they don't have the electricity to power
stuff it in a closet and use it in a decade when the power plants get built?
the us does not have the necessary energy infrastructure for the current planned builds

Why don't they just pause, built the power and infra we need for the DCs and then build the DCs? If the industry just worked together and sorted this out they wouldn't need to race like this building DCs with no power and buying GPUs they cannot turn on.

because if they do that than another one will get the gpu. it's better to buy all the gpu even to do nothing than letting the competitor get them. they also do that with people btw; google is paying millions of dollars to a few engineers just to do nothing all day so they don't go to a competitor.

>>
>>110158341
Because capitalism works like that. It's a race to deprive the competition of resources so you can get an advantage. Since everything in life and business snowballs, as soon as you get a few months' legroom, it becomes exponentially harder to beat you in the same game. Until you become so big that more nimble players (startups) can eat your lunch from under you, but then you use your money to buy or crush them.

If company A gets all the DC deals, company B has to buy all the GPU capacity to prevent the DCs from ever being furnished, and company C has to buy all the power contracts so that neither the GPUs nor the DCs can ever be used. They don't care that they won't use the power themselves, it's just to prevent others from getting ahead, etc. In the end, they can resell that power to them at a super premium if they can't figure out how to win otherwise, and so forth.
>>
>>110157502
profit isn't the point, it's about enslaving the goyim.
>>
>>110158365
There is no power to buy, it does not exist. The US has little excess grid capacity which means all the chips you buy are useless as building power facilities will take longer than the use cycle of the gpu.
you might deprive your enemy of the gpu but they can't use them anyway because they can't power them in any significant quantity so what good is your prevention purchase?
its irrational behavior
>>
>>110158844
On the contrary for all of this, you can absolutely broker deals to reserve grid capacity for years. And it is not at all irrational, the entire point is to strangle your opponents. If they're struggling to breathe, they don't have time to go find solutions to their current lack of hardware, for instance.
This is like capitalism 102. You need help.
>>
>>110158866
>you can absolutely broker deals to reserve grid capacity for years.
https://www.icf.com/news/2026/06/icf-report-rising-us-electricity-demand-press-release
>The report, Electricity demand growth: How will the grid keep pace?, finds that the U.S. power system currently has only about 26 GW of excess generating capacity above minimum resource adequacy requirements, which is roughly 3% of total capacity.
how many giant server farms do you think you can build with 3% excess capacity? not many
>>
>>110158895
You don't understand. When you reserve advance capacity, only the capacity you have reserved is actually reserved. All other use is best-effort. Always have been.
It is also important to point out that overcommit is common in energy brokering. Same as internet bandwidth of old.
>>
>>110157502
you loat tranny
>>
>>110158963
The providers are not going to oversell to the point they would put your average person into brownouts.
why does Microsoft have GPUs sitting in boxes instead of in servers if the capacity exists?
the power just does not exist to power every gpu sold in the us to these hyperscalers
>>
>>110159001
>why does Microsoft have GPUs sitting in boxes instead of in servers if the capacity exists?
We have already established that the capacity does not exist and that they're buying out GPUs to starve those who have the other resources captured from GPUs. Try to keep up.

>the power just does not exist to power every gpu sold in the us to these hyperscalers
Which forces one of them to broker international power deals or to spend massive capex on setting up their own power facilities. That's literally the whole point.

Pay attention. We've been over this.
>>
>>110159021
>they're buying out GPUs to starve those who have the other resources captured from GPUs.
said competition would have to be outside the US grid which only leaves China with the real excess capacity
and you are telling me the US government can only keep chips out of chinese hands by burning countless dollars buying and hording them?

Kind of funny actually. Data centers caused massive personal computer component shortages. Now they are the only ones able to pay massive amounts for these components. They deserve it.
