    They didn’t even take the last global pandemic seriously until it was way too late.

    Unfortunately, rich people got even richer as a result of the massive government spending trying to keep the lid on the pot that had already boiled over, so they’ll never have an incentive to actually take it seriously when they know they won’t be negatively affected by it.




  • Speaking from experience here, there are vastly more people employed just to build datacenters than there are to fully staff one. Hundreds of engineers, consultants, general contractors and construction laborers to build the datacenter versus maybe a dozen people at best to staff a football field sized datacenter. If datacenters go away those builders will still have jobs because they’ll just pivot to building schools or hospitals or whatever else is needed at the time. Heck, even the IT guys who work on the racks could pivot and find another role somewhere else.

    The only people who will be out of a job when the AI bubble pops are the hucksters pushing it.
