I remember reading a few days ago that OpenAI basically ordered 3 times as much RAM as they could use this year. There are also data centers fully equipped but not turned on as the local power grid could not handle the added demand.
That power grid thing is what will ultimately pop the bubble.
The lack of last mile fiber is what popped the dot com bubble.
Turns out, spending a fuckload of money on unusable infrastructure is a bad thing.
