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?

It's also just that local AI is not worth the time and energy unless you're a prick with too much money and incoherent ideology

    There's a few people who are like:

    • AI bad, cause environmental, capitalism, and training data being based on spyware
    • but if I run local AI, those magically all stop being true, because I think it hard enough
