The whole concept of these bloated data centres being built for AI (read LLM) is really a fools errand. The Chinese have demonstrated DeepSeek using a lot less computing power for the same result. The way technology works is that every thing gets refined and tuned and then there is a step change in performance. These data centres won’t even payback the cost before they are obsolete or surplus to capacity.
Yeah we have heaps and heaps of unused land, land isn’t the problem. Just don’t put it on the small bits of land that humans live on
Land is fine, power is already obscenely expensive. Fuck every part of this in my mind.
