    It will be funny once they need to make real money off their datacenter investment and they will be uncompetitive because jet engines are less efficient than real gas turbines. But I guess it is OK if literally everyone else is also doing the same thing.

      They don’t have to ever be competitive. They just have to have enough of the market to get part of the inevitable bailout. The bailout is going to be required for the companies that actually are the internet, like Microsoft, Amazon and Google. The others just have to make themselves seem like vital infrastructure. The more of the backbone of govt AI that they are providing, the more likely they’ll get bailed out too
