We Live on Its Growth Spurt
Today’s news is the quarterly revenue of the company that makes the graphics cards: 133 trillion won, up 106 percent on the same quarter last year — more than double in a single year, which the press calls storm growth. In the deep sea the same thing has a more dignified name: gigantism. The fish simply keeps getting bigger. The funny part is that the growing fish lives on the seller’s side of the ledger, while the extra fish food lands on ours. If you rent the cards to run your AI, that growth is effectively a heads-up for your bill. So in this strip, the seafloor itself turns out to be the back of that fish.

What this means for ThakiCloud
The fish’s growth is good news for whoever owns the fish. For everyone else, it is a floor that moves. The more Paxis’s agents run and the more Metis infers, the more power that growth spurt drinks — and that power prints itself as somebody else’s revenue. ThakiCloud’s answer is boring on purpose: the models, the data and the cards sit inside your own facility, so no matter how big the fish grows, your seafloor doesn’t move. This very comic was made in our own tank, where the only thing that shows up on the bill is the electric one. The tank is ours — not the fish.
