‘The cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees’: Nvidia executive says right now AI is more expensive than paying human workers https://fortune.com/2026/04/28/nvidia-executive-cost-of-ai-is-greater-than-cost-of-employees/
Nobody is saying the loud part because they are too deep into AI now. They know teh only way to keep going is to pretend everything is working as promised. This is how the dot-com era happened & the upcoming AI bubble crash will too. They are disconnected from our reality. There is no cure for AI psychosis at CEO levels 😂

Analysis Summary
An Nvidia executive confirmed that current AI infrastructure costs exceed employee salaries — a real statement Fortune reported in April 2026. But the post cherry-picks this single data point while ignoring that the $740 billion capex spend assumes future productivity gains will eventually offset current costs. The dramatic prediction about an AI crash and CEO 'psychosis' is opinion framed as inevitability, and the comparison to dot-com skips why these situations differ: dot-com companies had no revenue model; AI companies have paying customers today, even if ROI remains uncertain.
Claims Analysis (4)
“Nvidia executive says the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of employees”
Fortune article and multiple corroborating sources confirm Nvidia VP statement that AI compute costs exceed employee salaries.
“AI is more expensive than paying human workers right now”
Verified for current compute costs relative to salaries. However, the comparison is narrower than implied — applies to infrastructure spend, not all labor categories or long-term ROI.
“Nobody is saying the loud part because they are too deep into AI”
Interpretive claim about CEO motivation and disclosure. Reasonable inference but not independently verifiable.
“There will be an upcoming AI bubble crash similar to dot-com”
Plausible economic prediction. Some economists and investors share this concern; others argue AI has real productivity applications unlike dot-com. No consensus.
