Is it just me or is anyone else worried what will happen when the industry realizes LLMs are just not going to be the path to AGI? We are building nuclear power plants, massive datacenters that make our old datacenters look like toys.

We are investing literal hundreds of billions into something that is looking more and more likely to flop than succeed.

What scares me the most is we are being steered into a sunk cost fallacy. Industry will continue to claim it is just around the corner, more and more infrastructure will be built, even underground water is being rationed in certain places because AI datacenters apparently deserve priority.

Are we being forced into a situation where we are invested too much in this to come face to face with it doesn't work and it makes everything worse?

What is this capacity being built for? It no longer makes any sense.
