There is no profitable business model for Cloud AI – (SGGQA Podcast Clip)

AI is a drag on earnings, and there is no consumer facing business that can generate a profit, when data centers are eating a TON of money and electricity and water. The nerds watching my podcast have been commenting on this for a while now.
