Need to stop this bullshit anyways, fucking up towns, fucking up other areas of consumer tech, and for what exactly? Nothing AI has done has actually improved lives. Like the article says, more than just memory, they can’t even get all the other stuff needed and the power grid isn’t even sufficient.
Literally trying to beat China at AI when we got to buy parts from China to even compete, already fucking lost. Get fucked investors.

China looks on and smiles
Environmentalists setting the country back like they did with nuclear power in the 70s
Edit: Maybe red states will still be able to build so we won’t lose out entirely.

Well thats a „US Waterglass half-full“ kinda attitude!

Rookie numbers. Let’s get it even higher

The energy rate is determined by bids from energy producers to source projected utilization, if bills have gone up, they may not come back down depending on the state’s energy regulatory body. Even then, if the energy company can “justify” operating and building costs, those rates may never come down.

Not enough. Scrap them all.
Blights of technology.

Good. Can we get rid of some of the existing ones too?

I’ve been wondering how much the helium shortage is going to affect this. Helium is critical for manufacturing microchips.

I spent like 6 years working on electrical infrastructure for data centers.
Articles a little disingenuous imo, I imagine just get people click so everyone’s like “ yeah were winning!“
This is pretty much how it’s always been. They have always have a million delays related to resource, regulations, materials, etc. It’s a huge logistical undertaking. They also get canceled all the time.
It’s all part of it they just bulldog around with unlimited bags of money until they find something to bite. It’s all just a cost of doing business to them.

No shit! Humans have a natural tendency to over promise and under achieve when times are rolling. The same goes for all these massive nuclear buildouts too! Reckoning day will come eventually and massive scale backs will occur. Aka as bust

Good. Cancel them. Not like they produce any economic or jobs benefit anyway.

Maybe they can ask AI for help?

If these Oligarchs have so much money to spend on these things, why don’t they all team up to upgrade the grid, build their own wind farms to power them, develop specialised chips and find out how not to waste so much damn water?
DingbattheGreat on
Then they can build their own powerplants. No burning. Put a solar farm out there.
Not enough?
They can pay for a nuclear site and all its required surveys and fees.
DumbIdeaNo2 on
This was all for the investors anyhow. They are distracted by other things now. Time to move onto a new promise.
ComprehensiveHa on
The AI buildout got way ahead of the actual infrastructure needed to support it. Power grid limitations, permitting, and construction timelines don’t move as fast as hype cycles do.

Bummer. What a shame. I’m gutted.

Can we lower the price of RAM / SSDs now ?
BadAtExisting on
Oh no! Anyway
They pollute local waterways, use too much electricity and we all pay for their subsidies. They don’t even really create jobs. Sure while they are being built, then they run on minimal staffing. They leech off the communities they’re built next to

This is wonderful news. Thanks for posting.

Electrical infrastructure cannot support them. But, they won’t invest in public infrastructure. Won’t give back to the communities that initially invested in them and allowed them to build fortunes.

Let’s get a baseline, please: What percent of massive building projects in the US in 2026 face delays or cancellations? Would this headline be non-news if that number was also „nearly half“?

$18 trillion in committed investment delayed until Jan 20, 2029.

Good, maybe they can dump all their data center parts on the market and get things back to normal

ive been looking for a job doing the data cabling in one these places. with all the news of them going up everywhere i thought it would be easy. I cant find anybody hiring.
Dumpsterfire_47 on
Those are rookie numbers. We need to ban them entirely unless they build energy infrastructure to support their needs without rising costs for everyone, and have strict regulation with enforceable penalties for handling the waste they produce.
timeslider on
Can RAM prices crash then?
NoaNeumann on
I do wonder, if/when the AI bubble bursts, what will happen to the datacenters that they’ve already built? Will they just stand as a testament to techbro’s stupidity? Or will they be used still? Either way, tear em down and make the rich pay for it.

Who is going to store their data in the US? Who?

Meanwhile the U.S. has a temporary „chip advantage,“ China is winning the „energy and equipment race.“ Without a breakthrough in domestic manufacturing for electrical parts, the U.S. may have the world’s best AI models but nowhere to run them.
