Well…not sure if there were too many races today or if they just aren’t as much fun without having cocktails, but I’m a little bored with the Coke 600 so here I am…I did read an article this afternoon about the backlash about huge AI data centers that are sprouting like poison ivy across the country, the resources they suck up, and the costs increases for people who live near them…so is this one a political one? Hmmm…in the article they talk about a town in Arizona that has seen their electrical rates go up by 278% after a data center was built there and now the electric company has warned residents that they may lose electric service altogether since they have limited capacity and they’d rather sell it to the data center since they make much more money doing that…and even the tech companies are warning that building all these centers is a bubble that is soon going to burst leaving hundreds of huge empty buildings that will have no use…and all the tax breaks these towns gave them are going to be worthless as they declare bankruptcy and walk away from these white elephants…and don’t get me started on the worthlessness of AI…it’s a nothing technology that adds nothing to online productivity…it’s only purpose is to make money for the tech companies..for now…
