More and more mainstream analysts are identifying the coming AI crash, which is a good indication that it will happen soon.

So, what happens to all the data centers? They are already built but probably very expensive to maintain. Will many of them just be abandoned? Bought up by cloud computing companies? Scammers? Crypto miners? Can they be parted out and sold off piecemeal?

Will they be put to some productive use, or just become massive e-waste sites left to the locals to deal with?

    That has not been true of any historic financial bubble. Almost ALL of them have been clearly identified in advance. However, the nature of financial bubbles is that there is lots of money to be made leading up to the burst.

    Please learn a little history.

        You know, that’s fair enough. But honestly people confidently spreading ridiculous misinformation can set me off a bit.

          Sharing an argument is “misinformation” nowadays, but writing “the coming AI crash” (as if that’s a fact) without posting a single source about those “more and more” analysis…? You are a rage-baiting troll.

      Clearly identified by who? Maybe be a few. For sure not by the majority.

      There are people predicting crashes all the time… So many crashes that never happened. Just because someone predicts it doesn’t mean that it is going to happen.
