It really seems like the cheap inference is coming to a head very quickly.

Demand is increasing exponentially but supply is increasing linearly. NIMBYs inventing datacenter lies about sucking up water or noise is going to drive prices through the roof.

  • Noise in residential area is already a huge problem and data centers do in fact make it worse. They may be able to carve out exceptions in laws or push non-enforcement, but none of this changes the impact on human health.
