So you want to tell me they all spent billions and made huge data centres that suck more power than small country so we can all play with it, generate some cringy smut and then toss it away?

This is kinda insane if that’s how it will play out

Not the first time this has happened. Even recently. See NFTs. Venture capitalists hear "tech buzzword" and throw money at it because if they're lucky, it's the next Google. Or at least it gets an IPO and they can cash out.

Yeah but the scale is bigger and we could be doing something worthwhile with all these finite resources it makes me a bit dizzy

We could, but they don't care about making the world a better place. They care about getting rich. And then if everything collapses, they can go to their private island or their doomsday vault or whatever and enjoy the apocalypse.
