#2It won't pay off if LLMs efficiency gets good enough to make those data centers obsolete.
It's a huge gamble.

Or: increasing resource efficiency may encourage even more usage, as happened with coal, oil and photovoltaics.

Wouldn't improving LLM efficiency make them even more useful across the board, then they can enjoy the nice economies of scale?
The plan is to have LLM working completely autonomously, in that case, the more resources you have, the better. Perhaps people will use local LLM to ask questions, or coders use them for their personal projects, but that's not where the real money is.

Given how heavily subsidized it is at the moment, the efficiency isn’t as important. Typically efficiency would give you more at lower cost, but with token prices so removed from actual cost that plays less of a role here.

The (any!) comparrison to photovoltaics is
not acurate.Photovoltaics (PV) are primary energy producing infrastructure that produces its own fuel and is now verticly integrated into it's own supply chain, nothing other than life itself posseses this atribute.
AI, is exceptionaly likely to work in exactly the opposite fashion and take its host out as it goes down.

When PVs got cheaper, more of them were sold.

Don’t worry, they’ll get bailed out
