Trying to filter out the noise in all this AI hysteria. I was watching this this morning and it got me thinking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sk3qmIQZnI&t=754s So far I considered that the AI developement can proceed without my “precious” attention so I have ignored the agitation as much as I could> It seems that I can’t do that anymore and I am trying to guess the direction this is going in. My understanding is that right now there is a race between the tech giants/countries (China) to reach the critical mass and to become a dominant power house that would attaract all the consumers (retail or industrial) . So everybody is pouring money into it. Network and Compute manufacturers will make huge profits no matter how this ends (bubble or not) Retail AI consumption although significant (YT just surpassed NetFLX revenue by a big margin) is for the most part not going to significantly impact the landscape other than with the need of building infrastructure to support the volume. So the big players will get that. Now the interesting question is this: to what degree will the second layer of companies, that are big on using IT, need their own AI infra instead of consuming it from the big players. Kind of similar with Cloud vs on Prem DataCenters. There the issue is clear by now. How about AI -how much private , owned AI do companies need and at what scale ? How do you measure the size of an AI infra (sorry if the questions are phrased maybe in not the most technical terms but as I said I pretty much ignored the domain so far) submitted by /u/MineMe4Reddit
