More and more mainstream analysts are identifying the coming AI crash, which is a good indication that it will happen soon.
So, what happens to all the data centers? They are already built but probably very expensive to maintain. Will many of them just be abandoned? Bought up by cloud computing companies? Scammers? Crypto miners? Can they be parted out and sold off piecemeal?
Will they be put to some productive use, or just become massive e-waste sites left to the locals to deal with?
It’s only AI, here is the source they linked: https://americanedgeproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Americas-AI-Surge-Powering-Growth-in-Every-State.pdf
It never indicates these are only AI datacenters.
Idk. Even if it’s half the number, which I doubt that it’s that low, it’s still way too fucking many. Also, aren’t AI datacenters more power hungry and huge monstrosities compared to the other ones?
Idk, read your own sources.
