The American AI industry has a problem. In order to justify its explosive spending on AI infrastructure — data centers, essentially — firms like OpenAI and Google need to convert as many non-AI users into power users as they possibly can, ideally ones who are willing to pay monthly subscription fees for the privilege. Much of this frenzy is unfolding at the corporate level, as AI labs chase enormo... View Source
