With OpenAI already enshitifying ChatGPT with ads, and the whole datacenter demand being pegged to questionable (economically, socially, environmentally) build up plans, what if the music stops in just a few months from now? Will micron course-correct? There’s no point fulfilling OpenAI’s orders after the company went belly up, right?
