DeepMind infra lead calls Gartner's 'compute surplus' claim nonsense: we're massively constrained

Google DeepMind infrastructure lead appenz pushed back on a Gartner article claiming "we have more compute capacity than demand": "This is nonsense. We are massively compute constrained. Our portfolio companies are struggling to find capacity."
Gartner researcher stuffyokodraws replied with a self-made "Magic Quadrant of Being Out of Touch" meme, placing Gartner in the high-confidence / more-out-of-touch corner. Industry views on compute supply and demand are clearly split.
