Either they’re lying and the number is greatly exaggerated (very possible), or this will eventually destroy the company.
I'm thinking the latter - Silicon Valley is full of true believers, after all.

Update on the University of Zurich's AI experiment: Reddit's considering legal action against the researchers behind it.
In terms of actually being useful, an AI data center is also worse than a boat.
Consider humans your competitive advantage.
Words to live by.
Less a standard piece and more "Ed Zitron goes completely fucking apeshit for 26 minutes" this time around
Stumbled across a piece from history YTer The Pharaoh Nerd publicly ripping into AI slop, specifically focusing on AI-generated pseudohistory found on YouTube Shorts.
Most data centre electrical equipment is only made outside the US. President Trump’s tariffs exempt electronics — but that expires 9 July. If it isn’t extended, then US data centres are screwed — no new buildouts, and huge maintenance problems for existing data centres. [Verdict]
Trump had the opportunity to do the funniest thing by setting them for the 4th of July.
At least the data centres are paid for by private companies and not bank loans. This means the bubble pop won’t cause a banking crisis too.
That's waiting until rampant deregulation puts everything in place for another 2008 style crisis
"How can I trust that you’re not lying about not being conscious?”
Its a silicon-based insult to life, it can't be conscious
New piece from the Wall Street Journal: We Now Know How AI ‘Thinks’—and It’s Barely Thinking at All (archive link)
The piece falls back into the standard "AI Is Inevitable™" at the end, but its still a surprisingly strong sneer IMO.
And sadly, it wasn't somebody's porn alt.
Wow Trannyporno really put that depraved woman in her place
That can't be a real username. That fucking can't.
The same goes with DuckDuckGo, because the venn diagram of programmers and AI bros is apparently a circle.
