    Sorry, but sellers will NEVER let the price come down. It will take years, if ever that prices start coming down again. Also, there is almost zero chance the rich give up on their dream of replacing expensive employees with GPUs. Even if the market corrects a bit and washes out some weak businesses, the AI build out isnt going any where. There is money to be made replacing employees, and someone is going to make it, come hell or high water.

      “Even if the market corrects a bit” I think you have no concept on how large that bubble has become already. This could heavily impact the real economy.

      After the bubble implodes it will become much harder to finance such data centres, never mind that it will be much harder to find a place to build it, even with all the corruption in the world.

      I have a couple from 2009 still chugging along. Seriously, for a little web browsing and basic YouTube. They’re more than adequate.
