Tech giant Oracle is suing the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin over financial requirements that regulators approved to protect ratepayers as developers build a $15 billion data center campus to expand its AI initiatives.
Data centers have been around forever. Supercomputers and other large racks of computer hardware have been housed in them for decades. They have done a lot of good for research.
Even if you didn’t have AWS and the like modern sites/tech products need a lot more hardware than your random desktop computer to work. And that needs to be housed somewhere.
The AI ones they’re trying to build now to try and stack tech feudal territory? Probably not. I don’t think the demand is gonna be there long term.

They really don’t, everything is just hideously inefficient these days.
They really don’t, everything is just hideously inefficient these days.
Because for ~30 years hardware, microchips, memory, and storage kept improving faster than programming best practices. As a result we have bloated applications with poor memory management. In the coming hardware famines I hope to see this trend reverse course.
