  > from the beginning of 2026 claimed global AI compute capacity was doubling every 7 months. That's definitely one way to say "it doubled this year"

    I read it as "was posted earlier this year. It claimed that compute has been doubling every seven months for quite some time, on average"
  • no-name-here 3mo ago
    No, it was "<linked article> from the beginning of 2026 claimed <x>." Also, if you open the article, you'll see the data goes back multiple years, but does not cover 2026 (as it was posted at the beginning of 2026).

  Graphs like this are all I can think of when I see unsustainable euphoria like above. https://www.bigtrends.com/education/lessons-from-the-past-10-charts-graphs-of-the-great-depression/ https://www.bigtrends.com/education/lessons-from-the-past-10...

  Not what it says. > We fit a trend to the quarterly quantities of AI compute sold, as measured in H100-equivalents. We find that computing capacity has been growing by 3.3x per year, equivalent to a doubling time of 7 months. This is just a graph of cash changing hands. I transferred a loonie from one hand to the other one trillion times this morning and have the largest data centre in the world.
