  • If/when the AI bubble bursts, I’m skeptical that they would get repurposed as any kind of non-AI data center, as I doubt the demand would come anywhere close to matching the supply. The hardware would probably be sold off for pennies on the dollar, and hopefully these parts weren’t designed to be unusable in consumer PCs. I’d like to see those data centers turn into homeless shelters or something of benefit to the community, but that’d require extensive reconfiguring of the interior for a non-profit cause. More likely they’ll end up as warehouses and distribution centers, or end up as long-term vacancies.
