    Let’s assume the demand for AI is only 20% of.what is being built. Doesn’t that mean that the other 80% can now be used for something useful (protein folding etc.)?

      Yes but capitalism = profits is all that matters.

      Also since big tech has more money than almost anything, they become illegal unofficial kings in a world where money is all that matters. They influence entire elections and what information is able to be shared.

      Also communism really, there are always people grabbing most of the cash.
