Accenture sells AI transformation to thousands of clients while quietly telling its own employees they get a fraction of what some were already spending. The internal memo reveals a tension at the heart of every major consulting firm racing to profit from AI.
Nvidia is the one selling the shovels during the gold rush. They’re not at risk of going bust.
It’s all the LLm companies leveraging themselves to the eye balls to buy Nvidia chips for their datacenters that are at risk.
Haven’t they invested like $100 billion or so in LLM companies though? I thought they were a big player in the Enron-esque cyclical investment scam they’re all running. Will be tough for them if they can’t recoup any of that.
They’ve made several hundred billion off it though. Spending 100 billion to keep the hype train going is peanuts if it’s making you over 100 billion a year in high-margin extra revenue.
