Why One of Tech's Biggest Gamblers Is Betting Against Elon Musk's AI Vision

Son's point is that even if the idea is solid, it will take at least 10 years to get it to work. That's too long to wait, the winners and losers in the AI race will be decided long before then.

Also: if it does work, all it does is save on the cost of electricity. But just 7% of operating a data center on earth is the cost of electricity. The rest are the chips and other things.

File that under things that work until they stop working. When Elon's cult stops working, all the comments will be about how that was so inevitable, and of course everyone saw that it was fake. On top of all that, somebody on a prediction market will have made a bet on when the music would stop, and they will now be hailed as a predictive genius. Nothing will have been learned.
