I’m catching up on the news today and see that Nvidia forecasts $1T in GPU sales over the next 18 months. That is crazy. I don’t know how that works at any level.

Also on the nvidia news front, they are making a version of the gpu for orbital datacenters. Now I’ve been around for a long, long time and I’ve heard some pretty dumb ideas in that time, and I feel like orbital datacenters is at least in the top 10.

If Trump’s ongoing plan to cause hyperinflation of the US Dollar succeeds (as it shows every chance of doing) this seems feasible.

I’ve wondered for a while if this is the plan for most ‘AI’ data centres:

  • Borrow hundreds of billions via fixed-rate bonds.
  • Build a thing.
  • Crash the economy so hard that a billion dollars is the price of six eggs.
  • Repay the loans.

    @david_chisnall @jerry really scary, but somewhat it makes sense.
