Increasing electricity prices are going to be its undoing. AI is an environmental disaster in multiple directions.

What will we do with all the compute? Landfills, just like all other e-waste. It's never getting repurposed. I already saw this story play out multiple times in the past. The dot-com bubble led to so much waste--PBXs, switches, PCs, monitors, all thrown on the heap. Oh, sorry, "surplused" then thrown on a heap in the Philippines or wherever.
