You need to show how having X more data centers is somehow going to translate into affordable, highly advanced robots in the immediate future.

There are hard problems about robotics we don't yet know how to solve. Not to mention, who the fuck is going to buy them if AI takes their jobs?

You think people are going to stop watching celebrities and influencers just because there are AIs and robots?

Do you think people will stop dating, trying to impress mates, buying luxury, etc.? Neither candlelight dinner to a robot no a Dior manufactured by robots have the same allure. There's a huge industry around this.

Sports aren't going to go away. Huge industry.

People aren't going to stop making art. I know a ton of artists who have embraced AI that are doing even bolder work using the tools. (I was a filmmaker pre-AI, and I know a lot of people in this field.)

People aren't going to stop traveling. And consuming. And eating human food and consuming human experiences.

There are going to be all new kinds of businesses and opportunities that spring up. OpenAI and Anthropic are not going to be the only two employees. They won't be staffed by only agents.
