I'm really hoping it pops before the Pitt Race track gets bulldozed.
Story for those not in the know, what's heavily rumored and circumstantially almost certain to be an AI datacenter operation is in the process of buying out Pitt Race at the height of its success from the already generationally wealthy family that owns it for what's rumored to be a 9-digit sum. The race track happens to be next to some major electrical infrastructure. Equipment from the track has already been auctioned off.
I was also kind of hoping the nuclear reactors might get started before it pops but that might be wanting to have the cake and eat it too...
I'm thinking sometime between right now and late 2026. It may be starting to pop already.
The guts of the data centers will mostly head for the landfill (or may get a short stint as cryptocurrency mining or HPC operations at most), they may get repurposed as conventional data centers or possibly warehouses or factories.
Counterpoints: The Great Depression, the impoverishment of the Luddites, the impoverishment of Gen. Y/Z/Alpha. The French revolution was an outlier, and the French aristocracy didn't even have the benefit of a massive heavily automated surveillance apparatus, much less the ability to even dream of armed killbots.
Is there even a good business model for superintelligence?

Whatever happened to IPv6 ?
I didn't do anything crazy like actually read the article, but I did go as far as to read the third sentence of the summary, which began like this:
[A]round half of internet traffic continues to use IPv4, because changing to IPv6 can be expensive and complex [...]
.... and that would seem to indicate that IPv6 is currently handling around half of Internet traffic.
While drunk driving happens in Dubai, as a Muslim nation they have exactly zero humor about it.
I figure the rate of bad driving from other things like just being an absurdly entitled citizen or part of the royalty is more common.
I've actually been in Dubai, deployed there once. Visited the city a few times. It's "interesting".
Stop chasing these false "scarcities" that continue to crop up from time to time. Build your systems with used or NOS parts that are 3 or more generations back.
That's good advice for individuals building a home system for personal use. It's not really applicable for businesses and companies, though, since they likely don't have the expertise or the man-hours required to cobble together their business-critical systems from used parts. They're going to want to buy new, from a company that give them good support if/when anything goes wrong.
The [AI] infrastructure isn't going to get shut down and sold off it's going to get used.
It'll get used, if using it is more profitable than letting it go dark. Given the infrastructure costs of keeping all that hardware running, it's not a given that it will be. Once the investor $$$ stop flowing and the debt limits are hit, we'll see how much of the AI hardware build-out can really pay for its own room and board, and how much was just 'peacock feathers' whose only real purpose was to impress gullible investors into handing over their money.
