alt Hacker NewsThe difference is that all those things needed physical infrastructure to be linearly build out.
AI models can be deployed on the same datacenter as the old one and be either orders of magnitude cheaper to run, or orders of magnitude more capable.
The only thing that can pop this bubble is if we're not smart enough.

Not if the datacenters are in space, you can upgrade the models for a little while but once you need to upgrade the silicon you need to launch new hardware.

And data centers are practically free to build, are welcomed everywhere, cost little to run, and never need to have their infrastructure upgraded!

This hasn't historically been true. The clusters have been getting bigger along with the models over time. And now we may even want to have these computers have rapid access to extra compute or caches of the internet or other data stores.
