More and more mainstream analysts are identifying the coming AI crash, which is a good indication that it will happen soon.
So, what happens to all the data centers? They are already built but probably very expensive to maintain. Will many of them just be abandoned? Bought up by cloud computing companies? Scammers? Crypto miners? Can they be parted out and sold off piecemeal?
Will they be put to some productive use, or just become massive e-waste sites left to the locals to deal with?
Anthropic is expected to post a profit next quarter, it may prohibitively expensive to run but that doesn’t mean it can’t be profitable. But who knows, maybe they won’t.
I read somewhere that for every $1 they’re taking in in cash they’re spending $100 in operating costs. If they charge the amount of money they would need to charge in order to actually have net income they wouldn’t have any customers.
We’ll see if they post a profit or not but if they do then your source was probably an AI hallucination.
