Yep. NVIDIA makes tons of profit, along with RAM/storage. ODMs (server manufacturers) make a smidge of profit. data center colocation companies make slim profits years and years and years later. AI compute providers basically never make a profit. AI labs/startups lose money forever
Is it still the case that the profitability of every entity in this industry gets worse as you go from hardware manufacture to data center, to service provider, to company using those services, to users? - That's how I understood things to be a couple years ago.

This is exactly what corruption looks like: power used as a commodity, war treated as a profit center, and human lives reduced to line items. This isn't leadership or strategy-it' pay-to-play imperialism, and it's indefensible.

A private, for-profit detention center run by GEO Group.
Their business model is making money off human beings.
Their incentive isn’t dignity. It isn’t fairness. It isn’t even deportation.
Their incentive is keeping beds full and keeping the money flowing.

If you're wondering why a large chunk of ostensibly left-of-center pundits are waging war on environmental protections in the form of an "abundance agenda," it's because Silicon Valley has quietly developed a culture of rampant pollution.
