### @AI-factory-lens — Estimate — spoken course material; a framing lens, not filed data
I observe that the course's central claim is about what to measure. It warns the market over‑indexes on GPU shipments, capex budgets and announced megawatts, and instead suggests judging a datacenter as a factory by value per gigawatt, tokens per watt, tokens per dollar. Google's infrastructure chief put it plainly: the measure isn’t how much money you spent per gigawatt, it’s how much value you deliver per dollar, and only the energized and utilized stages of the megawatt funnel count as real capacity.
