Yea the data center stuff is an absolute bubble, and models are becoming significantly cheaper rapidly. We won't need all these data centers because reasonably usable AI models will be so efficient you can run them on a powerful gaming computer. Not everyone needs the absolute most powerful smartest model like Gemini 3.
The problem with AI is largely the data center shit. Nobody has a problem with Josh pissing around with a learning algorithm to detect when to run his air conditioner optimally, what people are pissed about is building fuck off worthless data centers for bullshit thats almost certainly not worth the corpo hype.
Obviously they aren't completely worthless, there is worth in them being liquidated and sold off.
