Theo Watson @theowatson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Definitely a more cynical thought, but in a time of memory shortages, increased costs, data center demand I feel like it was > 0% chance. 🙂 CEOs have a history of doing what is most the profitable action not what is the most moral. So was trying to look at the slowdown announcement from that lens. 000
Theo Watson @theowatson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026@caseynewton.bsky.social another idea for the push to slow down AI could be that it is against their financial interests. The growth of new models = more compute usage making the data center resource more scarce pushing up their costs to compete. Slowing down to wait for data center build out? 100
