Lots of money being spent on overhyped projects that either fail to deliver, cheap upgrades that overrun costs so badly they were never the affordable option, and the actual new stuff that works never sees completion.

Where have I seen these patterns before...

I mean, if google wants to set their money on fire by having multiple data centers running full force to apply "AI" to everything without people asking or any way to profit from it, that's on them.

I would complain about how much energy this is wasting in light of climate change, but this is innately unsustainable. Google will either widen up, or go bankrupt from the insane expense increase, given this doesn't make them any money.
