According to the new report from Epoch AI, AI data center spend is on track to pass $300B by end of 2025, nearly 1% of US GDP, topping the Apollo program and the Manhattan Project combined. (epoch.ai)

It would be amazing if this yielded results like the Apollo program, but alas, throwing more hardware at AI is not the solution to AGI. We already see scaling laws tapering off dramatically.

They need to spend that money on hiring engineers, not hardware. If they did that, the progress would be much, much faster.
