The RAM suppliers aren't good at predicting demand. In 2023 there was an oversupply that tanked their margins. Today there's a "supply crisis". Ramping up now would guarantee another oversupply in 3 more years. It's as simple as that.

The key is flattery and presentation though. Giving Trump a gold trophy and pledging support goes 10x farther than the equivalent in crypto. Tim Cook knew this

There's no minimum size requirement for "datacenter". My Raspberry Pi is a datacenter if I say it is.

Yeah but when was the last time you heard a story about Windsurf?

They monetize rocket launch tests today by tossing starlinks out the window. They will further monetize rocket launch tests by tossing AI datacenters out the window.

And then remember that they can maneuver to avoid collisions. Imagine there were only 10k cars driving on earth and they could all see each other coming. How many collisions do you expect in a year? I don't expect very many.

Countries that welcome immigrants are able to increase the tax base, and supply critical labor that locals don't want to do, including taking care of the elderly.

But you take in too many, too fast, AND if you allow those that are diametrically opposed to your values and way of life.....YOU LOSE YOUR COUNTRY.

and that's what we're seeing now across EU and trying to combat in the US.

Yes we'll all have to go back to not having AI any day now. That's why I'm using twice as much while I still can!

There's still plenty of people with access to Fable/Mythos. You sound deranged TBH.

It beats my phone TBH.

I feel like nowadays you can just go: "Claude, add a mcp-server". Or "Claude, add a skill to do so and so"

You don't have to be a neuroscientist to know that tobacco was addictive, you just need to have ever jonesed for a cigarette.

So what exactly is the problem?

There have been datacenters for decades. All of a sudden it's a problem not because of noise pollution, but because of some imaginary threat that nobody can quite name. And hey, I'm not even arguing for terrestrial DC's. I'm just saying it's irrational NIMBY bullshit (but we have to take it seriously anyway).

It's just a matter of being fully reusable. They'll get it down to about what airlines charge for checked bags and you'll still be saying it's not enough
