The technology is way too resource intensive for the benefit it gives. By resource, I mean environmental and technological. Have you seen the prices of DDR5 RAM? Microsoft is actually working to bring TMI 1 back online. TMI = Three Mile Island as in a full sized nuclear reactor that has been retired from service since 2019. The only reason why they are not bringing TMI2 back online is because IF F$%KING MELTED DOWN IN 1979.
Add to that Micron exited the consumer market to provide memory to the AI market only… What the actual F#$k?
Now the bubble has formed and the people that shoved tens of billions into it are trying to fill that bubble by any means necessary. Which means the entire population of this country are constantly bombarded by it for purposes it is ill suited to.
When, not if, this bubble pops it’s going to be a wild ride.
At some point, we should legislate that all non production tech buisnesses have to be energy positive- as in 'wanna build a data center? Its got to have more solar/ wind etc, tha it uses or its unpermitable.
