    Are there any new datacenters really being built, I have seen several infos that they mostly are “planned” (they order all the pcs & ram etc) but the building itself is often not even started? Especially the power requirements are not factored in, it takes a handful of years to build a power generating central the size needed?

    I feel it’s “let’s burn everything to the ground” in a last-ditch effort to prop the AI bubble afloat another month or 3.

      They are abandonding more and more planned data centers, but there are still lots of them being build and new ones being planned as well.
