  the big tech companies needing to pump demand for compute.

Demand is already so large that OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google could not fill it. Tokenmaxxing for these companies strictly to pump fake demand is just plain wrong. The inference demand for these companies internally must be a drop in a bucket in overall inference demand.

This reminds me of the popular opinion on HN for return to office mandates as executives wanting to recover their real estate investments.
