That means more data centers, bigger data centers, and more electricity than you can imagine.
Naturally, this all costs money - but not to worry! We'll just invent new economics to fund it all.
We'll also just ignore the effects that giant data centers are having on the real people who live in real neighborhoods next door...
In fact, the insanity at work these days in the AI and data center industries is so overwhelming, you could be forgiven for thinking it's just the script from a bad Sci-Fi movie...
But no, it's real. And it's NUTS.
Grab a coffee (or something stronger) and let's dive in:
Will sanity prevail? Stay tuned!

And now they've been talking of not finishing.

Power costs go up because of these data centers, this will spark demand for more power. Prices will go up, you have 2 choices, decrease demand , that ain’t gonna happen. So that leaves us with generate more power and competition or just generate your own power .
The energy demands are extensive - the water used for cooling could be used for better purposes, the community nearby suffers and the "ai" seems basically worthless - tis a losing proposition all around - and rather than use more "energy" why not get more proficient using the fine tools we now have at our disposal - so much easier than it used to be - and can be done using little energy.

For example just today I setup a solar-powered "chicken door" - and I don't deny it took technology to make the solar panel powers this door and the remote - and that is a tool of value. Contrast that with these "server farms" sucking up so much energy and water - and the cost-benefit analysis results are evident - tis a losing proposition.

Better ideas beckon.
Time will tell!
It always does.
