Massive capital inflows have turbo-charged AI development, but here's the bottleneck: computing power remains the elephant in the room—it's the dominant cost driver, and it moves in lockstep with revenue growth. The bigger the scaling ambitions, the harder the infrastructure squeeze. This cost-to-revenue coupling creates a structural constraint that no amount of hype can bypass. For anyone tracking how tech economics evolve, this tension between growth appetite and computational reality is worth watching.

compute costs gonna scale exponentially while revenue pretends it's linear... classic mempool dynamics but for gpu clusters lol

At the end of the day, it's still the computing power that bottlenecks everything. No matter how much capital flows in, it's all in vain. This is the real ceiling.

Basically, it's something you can't build without spending money; computing power is the real daddy.

Bro, let me tell you, this is the trap I didn't see when I went all-in back then. Hash power costs money, just as cruel as cutting meat from the retail investors.
