    Data centers for the unspecified purpose of “we need them”. These idiots are throwing tremendous force behind building these things almost overnight and everywhere. AI alone does not need all these . When this bubble pops it’s going to put us all in the poorhouse but… I bet there will be some cheap ram and hard drives when it goes.

      They’re for the surveillance state. Flock cameras, age verification, other surveillance apparatus, all of it goes through astronomical data. These centers are for that.

        I think you’re going to see (like with the new mobos that have gone back to ddr4 in production) a lot of niche market adapters and odd bastard mobos and some new ones made to capitalize on the market.
