Is this the Beginning of the End for the AI Bubble?

I read reports saying that AI is more costly than Humans are and that most AI Datacenters have either been delayed or cancelled. Could this finally be bringing the AI Bubble to an End?

doesnt matter how much money they lose they arent going to stop. this isnt about short term profit. its about control. people are coming to the realization that AI isnt being designed to help humans.

theres alot of reasons why its a net loss and part of that is taking a good chunk of the profitability away from the average human.

at the top they arent losing anything but numbers on a spreadsheet to get this done.

It will be interesting to see if/when the cost of using AI goes up, if many companies stop using it.
But I'd imagine, for most at least, they won't really be able to stop - as if you competitors are using the tool that can build something 5x faster, you'll probably need to use that tool too.

As for the "bubble" though, no idea. I just simply think that AI is here to stay.

A lot of states and counties are straight up blocking the creation of data centers now given the resource consumption and what that means for the average person's utility bills

yes, ive heard of that. Good on them i say!!
ive seen a documentary about one of those datacenters near a rural village. it was EASILY 1km away from a house where two seniors lived and the noise was STILL deafening, not to mention the water, electricity costs OR that their house was suddenly worthless, because no one in their right mind wants to live there now.

The number of them that have popped up across the US is kind of crazy. They're at over 5300. The next highest is Germany, which is about 521. I doubt most people would care about them if they didn't suck up so many resources. Instead of worrying about the impact on the population, they just keep investing money into making more of them.
