Who else thinks the size of data centers will eventually decrease? Computers used to be gigantic, but they aren't anymore. Competition and the drive for profit have continually reduced their size. Such is the nature of capitalism. Eventually, brilliant entrepreneurs will make data centers smaller and more efficient. This is what happened to almost every invention, they become more and more efficient as time passes on

>>540070850
no because software engineers are retards who can't write efficient code. there needs to be a "parkinson's law" to describe incompetent retard codetrannies.

>>540070850
America hasn't done anything for efficiency in any coding they do what so ever for well over 30 years

But these scumbag corporations will never give the land back

Jevons Paradox

We already got to certain maximums of computing power in chips. Its more of a sigmoid curve.
Would change with quantum computing maybe though

Give it back to whomst? Was it not bought? Did you mean they would sell it?
>>
>>540070850
Dunno, but there are going to be some killer auctions when they all go tits up. Bad ass rigs for pennies on the dollar.
>>
>>540071082
They bought the land, so who are they supposed to give it back to? Anyway, they'll sell the land or use it for another purpose if they decide it's no longer profitable to keep it.
>>
>>540070850
They won't because they can't make faster chips anymore.
>>
>>540072521
Processor power isn't the constraint now. All about RAM, that is still getting smaller, faster, more efficient
>>
>>540072903
It doesn't.

Semiconductors are starting to run up against a hard physical limit for how small they can be. You can't physically arrange atoms with the laser lithography machines on a much smaller scale than we do now, so until we come up with a completely new and revolutionary way of building a computer, the only solution is to stack more computers together.

I'm investing in local models, no data centres required

You'll be forced to carry a backpack with a mini data center on you are all times, for your security and to beat china of course
