It's easy for lawmakers, and will (if capitalism does its work) shift the limited resources to the most profitable usages of AI.

Of course, that'd make the bubble burst... which would suck because it's a pretty big bubble with quite a lot of vested interested, but meh 🤷

Nobody knew how to use it. They still do not. And apparently, the devices are already outdated (they can't get spareparts anymore).

So now they have a HUGE pile of junk, ready to be … what exactly?

That's why we're seeing all this nonsense. But to get some sort of start / direction, regulation can simply target an effective stop for new datacenters.

If the hyperscalers actually paid for the water, the power, the noise, the pollution to environment and climate then their business model would be even more broken. Oh and make them respect licenses and copyright in training
