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.
Land is fine, power is already obscenely expensive. Fuck every part of this in my mind.
