Is it really? I beat my meat so hard I fire blanks every night to picrel. How is that valuable to da joos?
>>
>>108913071
Yeah, 90% of those are never getting built.
>>
>>108913071
There's no way in hell this isn't a massive bubble waiting to pop.
>>
>>108913071
you can spot the states from space on this who might actually enforce regulations regards throwing up shit everywhere, like CA. And the ones who obv. don't, like TX and FL.
>>
>>108913143
the northeast also has a ton for some reason, despite land and power being very expensive
>>
Worked in Datacenters before, because a lot of companies pulling out of asia to host their data in the USA due to laws, security, power stability, city construction, ISPs, etc. For every datacenter you plan to build you need 2 maybe 3 backup locations if the power company or someone says no. Lots of these "to build" sites are just backup plans as it's easier to submit 3 proposals at one time and default on 2; as appose to submit 1 and play the waiting game and restart if denied.

The administration has also leaned in and said let them build so loans are easier.

The last part is, that it's a way to secure capital to redo electric infrastructure in a lot of places.

Geographic and Climate predictability. It's why sweden has a shit load of datacenters

Where did you thought facebook, tiktok, Instagram, blogger, google, myspace, 4chan ran anon?

>>108913071
In the later part of the Dotcom boom everyone was building out fiber networks. For several years there ended up being tons of dark fiber for cheap. Google bought up a bunch of it IIRC.
>>
>>108913143
It's really just a proxy for how difficult it is to build anything in libtard places like California.
>>
Here's a conspiracy theory. What if when the bubble pops the government siezes all the data centers to turn them into crypto mining farms and centralize Bitcoin?
>>
>>108913071
Demand is outstripping supply and everybody and their mother is rushing to fill the gap.
>>
Because compute is king. For both internal and external use case. Cloud computing is literal computing this time.
>>
>>108913319
Turns out, all the companies/people wanted an AI to help them build out products that has no bottle necks for shortage or cash

>>108913102
it just needs a few more zillion parameters brother

They want to own "the future", aka AI.
And make everyone unable to make a living without a subscription.
They will literally tell you: you are too stupid to hold a job, you need AI or you will starve.

for hardware, not the software running on it
what happens when the AI bubble pops and nobody is using the hardware? prices will crash and many of these will shutter (or never finish being built)

nah, the specifications of the data centers are wildly expensive if the plan is to repurpose them for crypto mining

Because they're idiots. What do idiots do? They try to solve a modern problem using 19th century technology.
>>

>>108913071
We can't fucking power this. We just don't have the grid.

>>108914890
Yes, we've known about this phenomenon since at least the early 17th century.

>>108913102
It will not pop as long as the government is subsidizing it. And the government will continue to subsidize it because they want palantr to work.

>>
>>108913431
You're free to not use it
>>
>>108915684
They'll sell it, sell the parts, sell the land, repurpose the land for something else. Use the data center to just mine bitcoin or something. Use it for their own bots. Sell it to google to be used for random unnecessary AI features. Use it for Palantir to spy on people.
They'll find a use. Don't worry about billionaires and their poor overbuilt servers. They'll get more money out of these data centers than they paid for them. It's pure profit.

As if there was ever a coincidence.

>>108915721
They even remove options within using AI, with Siri being Gemini and CoPilot being ChatGPT etc. There will only be more consolidation as time goes on and the weaker companies fail and get bought up

not really true, but it's also not as pervasive as execukikes want you to think. as an example, my employer laid off a bunch of call center workers and replaced them with AI chat bots. another example is my dentist now uses an AI chat bot receptionist to take messages.

It's the latest tech scam.
The only data centers that will be profitable will be used for government surveillance (Flock cameras networked into them to spy on you 24/7 and map all your movements).

Many of those datacenters already existed or were about to be decommissioned. Do a before:2020 google search for your city and see just how many you already had.

The new thing with lots of activity is going to dominate the news cycle you retard. It's not a psyop that the average person has the attention span of a seagull.
I mean, why are we no longer talking about the nutty shit North Korea does on a weekly basis? Or the multiple regional wars in Africa (that one is easy it's because they're brown).
>>
>>108913071
because IT'S A CANCER. you retards.

financial sector ate the real sector, and now it's manifesting in reality. datacenters will reinforce ai and ai will make the society build more shit for it. it will keep growing like cancer. it wants to grow.

>>108919361
Real interesting. Seems at best you'll get the stop oil twats wrecking an oil painting, but not one of the people sperging about the average citizen having access to personal transport has a thing to say about datacenters. I saw a shit-tarded article recently about how farming rice is "bad for the environment actually" because something something microbes make co2 and nevermind the fact plants intake co2 and exhale o2, be concerned RIGHT NOW, but not a peep about datacenters from them.
At best you'll get some local rags and general news orgs talking about water being drained and temperatures skyrocketing near datacenters, but they're given no real notice or attention.
>>108919380
Climate discourse has existed for decades with no "hurr durr 2 week news cycle" shit going on. Stop getting your world view and news from /pol/.
>>
>>108913071
I legit don't understand what the end game here is.

The logic is that training and running models is supposed to be cheaper with more options and access to processing power, and building data centers is guaranteed cheap, passive income by those who make them, but without utilities being expanded (I.E. cheaper electricity, more available water) it's just gonna be shit expensive regardless, and the price of running AI models (their biggest problem right now) is just going to stay high to the point where the whole system will implode on itself and the data centers will eventually just start to rot when nobody uses them and the price of keeping them online is sky high from utility costs.

Hype. Gotta show "growth" and building an empty warehouse without the electricity or GPUs is actually insanely cheap and gets cash from investors and puts you on the balance sheets of other corporations.

The fact there's no profit is beside the point since someone is still holding the bags.

that would make it better but they REDUCED the production of DDR5 very much to produce less HBM (more defects that need to be tossed AFAIK or perhaps it was just slower manufacturing... either way it's less)

Anything they can spy on you with can easily be used to frame you for anything they want.
The actual goal here is to make it where anyone criticizing them disappears, anyone attempting to use commerce is blocked if they do not have proper social credit score, and any and all thoughts and opinions are attached to your real name and face which you wear around in public for the commissar. The AI police state is the first time the absolute panopticon has ever been possible. Soon they'll be delivering AI generated summaries of your life to a court room with *creative liberties* attached that you won't be able to audit because these are all private companies and you will have no idea if the AI is hallucinating about you or not.

>>108923757
It's really easy when you breed cops to be really, really stupid and only follow orders and then have a system whose sole purpose is to make unlawful orders seem legit.

>>108919708
It's free gibs for AI companies, they don't have to pay the fees to electrify, you do. That's why they build them in neighborhoods and cities. The goyim pay those prices for them. They get to pay microscopic amounts compared to running new power infrastructure and finding ways to power it all. Those are real world problems for the goyim who live in the real world to deal with. They simply make a warehouse, most of the time empty, and have it "train" on human biometric data 24/7 to sell to the government for an infinite money cheat. You pay 300% more in gas and electricity to make it happen and get spied on. Learn your place, subhuman
