The core issue highlighted is the "completely unacceptable" experience of users of AI models like OpenAI and Anthropic, who are frequently denied access with "come back later" messages, put in a "timeout," or "sent to the corner" because they have "exceeded their capacity, their usage." This happens despite users potentially "paying hundreds of dollars per month or much more."
The fundamental problem is that "no one has enough compute," making compute access the primary "bottleneck" in the AI industry. This "AI compute access bottleneck is effectively a brick wall to increased revenue and profits." The moment an AI company secures any increase in compute, they can "literally, immediately increase their revenue and profits," demonstrating the direct financial impact of compute resources.
The financial stakes are "so high" that companies are willing to pay "absurd amounts of money to alleviate even just a fraction of their bottleneck" to slightly increase their compute access. Consequently, any company able to even "partially, incrementally, alleviate a small portion of any other AI company's bottleneck by supplying some compute is essentially going to print money."
