I mean, it seems pretty obvious at this point. The data centers aren’t getting built in time for all the hardware they’re buying up to get used, so it’s just sitting in warehouses and will be obsolete by the time any of these new data centers are built (if they ever actually are). And Jensen Huang has been waxing poetic about a future in which people don’t own computers anymore, they rent them to run AI agents on.
I’m not saying this is a sane and rational thing they’re pursuing, and it’s certainly doomed to failure because no one wants to rent computer time to run AI agents. But trying to prop up the AI bubble certainly seems to be the primary goal of all this ridiculous hardware purchasing.
This is a wild theory if I ever heard one
