TPUs are mostly hoarded by Google Research (including Deepmind) and Ads. Very few are being used by external people.

The greatest artificial minds of our generation are thinking about how to make us click on ads?

It was ads that made the money to develop the artificial minds in the first place.

Damn right but I don't understand why. That is, why is ads business generating so much profits that it allows to build such ridiculously powerfull devices ? Is it because it's genuinely full of money or is it because Google is so central that it makes tons of money out of lots an dlots and lots of small adverts ?

A little freaky when you think about what that really means. Some of the most advanced AI systems in the world are solely focused on being good at manipulating human behavior. Cool... cool cool cool............

No some are into the space industry.

So we can have internet anywhere. To click on ads.

It's ads that makes the market efficient. Potential customers should know the corresponding producers so that the information assumption of a ideal market stands.

How else would I know that “Elon Musk created a TeslaX platform that allows everyone to get rich”? Or was it Pavel Durov… Seriously, I can’t even report these on YouTube.
