I was just positing to the wife over the weekend. In 1000 years, well
after quantum computing reduces all current datacenter processing power
to something that fits in your hand, archeologists will unearth these
cavernous buildings and wonder what religious significance they had.

This article has some nice summary level information. I think the key
is that data centers are moving more toward specialized use cases of
which AI is one that is attracting speculators hoping to profit on a
surge of demand for AI-specialized datacenter space, of which they key
characteristics seem to be space, power capacity, and somewhat,
latency to end user applications.

Seems the world is losing its mind with these things. 80 million
at the start of the year from Microsoft. Then today Softbank, OpenAI,
and Oracle want to put one in texas and spent 500 billion. Yes,
i'm sure they'll all have nice fiber connections and i'm sure
we'll all link into them through the internet but what is the
story? Are "old" data centers going to become obsolete? Will
this explode? (maybe that is not the bestterm to use lol) like
they think it will?
What is the future here? What do we need to be doing to prepare
for this in our businesses? Do we need to plan for higher capacity
usage?
