Why do I have a feeling that most of that $30B was spent on paying for consultants, most of which were also essentially making things up as they went along.

Are there really that many consultants floating around still? I remember the heyday of the 2000s and kind of thought the outside consultants were largely disappearing and nowadays companies have trained themselves to jump on the hype train without paying consultants to push them?

I don't know?

For some reason, I'm thinking most of the money went to either inferencing costs or NVidia.
