Dear Folks,

I don’t understand.

It seems that Zuckerberg is facing huge backlash for his plan to build Data Centers around the USA, and especially for his SUPER-DUPER 5 GIGAWATT Data Center in Louisiana.

So my question is:

Why doesn’t Zuckerberg avoid all this fuss, and just build these Data Centers in his own MetaVerse, where he can control everything…just like any other BIG BROTHER?

Here is an interesting article about just how BIG the 5GW Data Center in Louisiana will actually be….and it is Mind Blowingly big.

And what about this backlash against new Data Centers in the USA, and around the world?

And, is Sunny-Boy getting closer to his Impending Imploding Bubble, his…

Date with Data-Destiny?

I have often enjoyed the vids out of ColdFusion produced by some guy in Australia.

He does a great job at distilling complex issues into info suitable for a young audience, even though I find his work quite appealing myself.

So, here is one of his vids about why Data Centers might not get a free pass, as they once did, in the USA.  And, the dreaded bubble…..is mentioned, too.

And then we have the great commentator, and Sammy-Boy Hater, ED Z., being interviewed by Bloomberg, another great vid.

And, a longer version with a far prettier interviewer, on The Tech Report....

Are things changing now, finally?

How much longer before the bubble implodes?

Or, will it remain impervious to public sentiment, and just continue to inflate…to…

Infinity?

Enjoy the vids.

These topics affect us all, and our world.

Best regards and happy whistling…

Past the graveyard,

Oh, look, the YouTube link machine is up and running again and at full speed, even after hours.

As for the bubble, the real story is the collapse of the data center industry. It’s already underway. Microsoft has quietly walked away from dozens of planned data center projects. Some were already partially built. There’s also growing opposition to data centers being built around the world. It’s become a negative topic.

Eventually, people will be running their own open source AI models locally on their own computers. When that happens, all these cloud servers and data centers dedicated to AI won’t be needed. Why pay $20 or $30 a month for AI from a commercial provider when you can run an open source model that’s 80% as effective, while also being free and private?

Companies that fired thousands of employees a couple of years ago to replace them with AI have already started hiring some of them back. Many found that AI didn’t deliver the expected efficiencies, or that it made too many errors and ended up hurting their business rather than helping it.

The bubble is coming. Spending has already started to slow. There won’t be nearly as much demand for all that cloud compute in the future. And a few years from now, if everyone is running their own localized AI, many of these big companies could end up collapsing.

IMHO: One should NOT react to any emoji sent to authors. To do so risks having the emoji become anonymous, once again, which would be a COMPLETE DISASTER for the Forum, and might also risk my decision to take a very long hiatus, since I CANNOT STAND ANONYMITY WHEN IT COMES TO Comments, Critiques, and Suggestions.

To be unnecessarily confrontational is POINTLESS.....

Keep this in mind, or....RISK ALL GOING DARK, once again.

A word to the wise.
