Internet Janitor posted:i'm not saying they're using it just to fill empty space, they're using it as a justification to continue expanding capacity while more conventional workloads taper off; they didn't initiate the hype wave, but they're using their clout to amplify it and help manufacture demand for very profitable cloud compute there are the cloud business units who’re happy to take on as much business as possible, and the investor storytime startups that’re doing what they do. that makes it seem bigger and more coordinated but i’d guess there no real control but some vps claiming credit and self congratulating in some powerpoints. this time we’re burning bitcoin levels of energy instead of producing mountains of consumer e-waste, so who’s to say?
