So if the AI bubble pops like many predict it will, what's going to happen to these datacenters? Are they going to turn into huge abandoned buildings? I'm not saying the AI bubble is real and would pop like the dot com bubbles or the housing bubble but it seems like we're headed towards something similar. Just seems like these companies are expanding at a really fast rate and something has to give at some point. I mean, companies are considering setting up data-center's in space -- this may be a better idea in some respects but really leads to a lot of extra "junk" in space.
