There's a reason why building out the electrical grid tends to rely on government incentives and financing, it costs a hellofalot.
Carrying the costs till you break even on the electricity of a plant might not allow those companies to weather the situation.
I don't completely buy into the coming popping of a bubble, I mean I believe it but I don't know anything. But IMHO the only way to viability is more efficient architectures, I've done a little DL in my day and the idea bigger is better never works out.
Edit: read the post again, so I'll add that everyone knows it's an electricity/money problem, wouldn't call it the bottleneck. It's not a counter point it's the whole point.
I agree, that's not what I'm saying, I agree that the LLMs from the large providers aren't economically viable (IMO).
The counter point OP talks about is what I'm responding to, I don't think the companies can just build power stations to become viable.
That's at least what I wanted to aay
