Microsoft wants us to believe AI will crack practical fusion power, driving future AI
This BS ends at some point, right?

This is presumably how the South Sea Bubble progressed.
You would have to be running your business very badly, with terrible staff, for AI to be better. But hey, flush away your cash and put off customers with AI 'customer service' if you want to. We'll just sit back, eat the popcorn and be amused by it. AI has already 'helped' Microsoft to ruin Windows further and faster than they already were doing. Eventually 'AI' will just undermine trust in tech generally.
The data centres are money pits from day 1. The built in obsolescence of the tech against the build time, the lack of a business case and the insane cost (increased by taxiffs) to produce something that nobody wants to pay extra for. The only value they have is to express fealty to King Donald so he doesn't trash your sector the way he is all the others.
There will be some niche cases where what is called AI has some value (as a computer/human interface), but nobody will pay extra for it. This is not the next big thing. It isn't what it says on the tin. It's not really artificial intelligence. You've all been conned.
We need to focus instead on using less, simpler tech, in a hybrid with physical/real world stuff that cannot be hacked. On disconnecting internal and infrastructural systems from the public internet/cloud. We need to treat data as a risk rather than an asset. And switch to distributed systems that have fewer data honeypots. So stop being led by GAFA to your local cashpoint, audit your systems and rebuild them using less, simpler, cheaper, but more resilient tech/hybrid models.
