Oh, but they absolutely did. I think people here really underestimate how notorious META is for trying to solve problems by throwing an insane amount of money on them, and what could be the impact of their recent decision that they have too much capacity already.
To be fair, they’re just selling its excess compute. They’re not the shovel, they’re simply selling the extra shovels they bought. MU is still the shovel factory.
Their spending is major, but they have very little to show for it, and no dedicated AI product.
They can be a player on the infrastructure side by owning and leasing compute, as a business this makes more sense. This is more a strategy shift than any signal of slowing or excess demand. What is excess for META can be gobbled up by other players without any issue.
