What I find amusing is climate change does not matter anymore nor does pollution when there is extra money to be made in AI.

What if I told you it never did and was always based on wealth shifts and avenues of control.

Even this puppet tard's propagation shifted,

Not that I want to endorse violence, but the only way to draw a sufficient 'negative' attention to AI is to have some mentally ill clown attack someone, writing in blood "CHATGPT MADE ME DO IT" in a public place, after actually conversing with ChatGPT in a way that convinces the model to suggest it. Imagine the scandal.

IMO, criminal investigations are still warranted because of the disruption their dealings with massive suppliers in the industry are doing to the market, right now. Actively negatively impacting customers and driving up prices.

Tough to tell what will happen since they're also still the poster-child of AI, given ChatGPT was one of the earliest adopted mainstream uses of AI LLMs.

I also worry they'll flame out, and there won't be any money left from them to prosecute out for the damage. Hopefully something good happens for 2027, or some other company offers alternative memory production for the consumer market.

We all know

We do? Seems like you're making quite an assumption there.

So when do the AI companies buy out the hardware companies so they can get them all pumping silicon for AI?

Never. It benefits them buying chips from generic suppliers, as they benefit from the economies of scale. OpenAI buying fabs to make their own chips is a worthless exercise in burning money, because there's no economic benefit to that kind of vertical integration.

It's entirely why TSMC pulled ahead of Intel in the CPU game, and why AMD sold off their fabs and focused exclusively on chip design.

Actually that would be funny to see, because by that point the AI companies would have the supply and production capacities needed for their datacenters, but no customers to use their products.

And then a very well-deserved mass implosion.

Why would they have no customers for their AI products? The entire corporate world globally are their customers. There is literally no shortage of them, since there is almost literally no limit to AI's application across every conceivable sector of enterprise (both public and private).

Nah, they are just playing the game of using the stock market system, which is absolutely broken and retarded. And works exactly as intended.

As Elon Musk demonstrates regularly by letting his companies buy each other's services/"products" and somehow that improves their valuation, even though Musk (and the companies) didn't make any real profit. This whole system is fucked when you can construct something that's essentially akin to a perpetuum mobile power plant.
