And services like Xbox Game Pass, ugh. I mean, it sounds nice in theory being able to play anything that's on the subscription. But at the same time, you don't own anything! Seems any and all companies are driving consumers in that direction... permalink fedilink source parent [–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago (6 children) Way too late. This has been a talking point for a while. The AI bubble will burst but that doesn‘t mean they‘ll just return to their roots. Those new data centers need a use case and they need a good reason to keep building more. I guess the silver lining is that this plan B won‘t work out either so we‘ll have to see. But until then we better take good care of our current hardware. It will probably have to last a good while longer. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] RadioEthiopiate@lemmy.zip 13 points 7 months ago (5 children) Cloud computing is the real endgame.
