Um, I still stand by my hot take that the data center is Betamax and will be going away in the next couple of years.
The smart money is in laser tag arenas, which will be the future of all these giant data centers.
Um, [laughs] because I think, I think that all of this processing and intelligence that's going to the edge is so much faster, more functional.
The edge is great, and it's, it's growing and getting better, and that means that the data centers will go away, which to me is also good news.
Does that mean you had, like, conversations where people were not quite on board with the data centers and those large language models then?
But, uh, but yeah, I've had several conversations with folks who have agreed in some or in part, uh, with that take because data- the, the, the cloud is becoming obsolete-
... which means that data centers are becoming obsolete because they have two functions.
And most of the large language models are already trained, and none of the large language models are functional.
