"Building datacenters will reduce the cost because increasing supply would reduce the cost."

That's great for us users but I'm talking from the point of view of the people trying to make money on the data centers.

"This is false. Part of the costs are unit costs which are really high margin."

Can you explain how everybody throwing their money at nVidia lowers the costs? When they are already apparently at max capacity?

Everybody trying to build a data center at once raises the costs of the data center. Everyone competing for power has already raised power prices and we've barely begun bringing this stuff online. Everyone demanding multiples of what nVidia is producing means nVidias isn't going to reduce prices any time soon.

Your use of "even more profit" also implies that you think that the AI world is making lots of money? nVidia is making lots of money. To a first approximation, everybody else involved has lost billions. Maybe not Apple. But everyone else you can name is deep in the negative on AI.

Why wouldn't they make money if they are the ones on whom money is thrown at?

Increasing supply lowers the cost, I'm unsure which part of this is surprising.

The companies using AI are making money out of it. OpenAI will make money in the future but are losing it because of R&D and training.
