I hope Rimu can figure out how to make Piefed run on GPUs because we are absolutely going to have to bail out these tech companies when the AI bubble pops, and when we do we’re gonna nationalize these shitty data centers and turn them into the biggest fediverse deployment you’ve ever seen (I’m mostly joking. Mostly).

    Assuming any of the proposed data centers, even the mentioned 15GW's worth that are "under construction," ever actually get built. Unfortunately it looks like we're steering more toward another 1929 than another 1999.

    We should let them fail and be happy that home lab users will be getting a massive discount.

    Also, crypto will be back as those people use similar resources. So crypto will be cheaper to mine. Hard to say if that will make it worth more or less. Crypto’s its own ponzi scheme waiting to collapse.

    They'll shred them before they let us have them

    Additionally, they're hillariously power intensive. you'd need to get 6-7 full racks worth of it together to make it work and when it does it blows through 130KW a rack.
