It's indicative of the lack of benefit that LLMs are providing. If gen AI was providing tangible benefits to anyone, people would identify a need for data centres.

    I think it's important to realize that a lot of these data centers aren't just doing LLM for chat bots

    I'm guessing a lot of Meta's and xAI's data centers are mostly training and running content recognition and recommendation models.

    Just speculating, but like HUGE embedding and CLIP models for high resolution databases of all the trash on Instagram/X/tiktok/YouTube paired with large multimodal Recurrent Nueral Nets that look at user's activity to recommend more content and ads
