    Christ on a cracker, if this doesn’t describe a bubble I don’t know what does. Not only is this just blatantly unsustainable, it’s fucking nuts.

      How long until the entire planet is one giant ai facility?

      Uh oh. By my napkin math, and some quick searches, there are currently 400k acres of ai/ cloud data centers, (625sq miles) and 57million sq miles of land on the planet. If we keep doubling square footage each time, the 18th 6monthly doubling will bring us to 81,920,000 sq miles, meaning we have a little under 9 years before AI has consumed the entire planet!
