AI providers are losing immense amounts of money on this. The absurdly overpriced NVDA chips, massive cost of space and power, and totally inefficient current method of generative AI is a loss-leader. They are trying to scale into a permanent moat, as did Amazon (successfully). MSFT and GOOG might make it. But many others will not.

One issue in Southside VA, where MSFT has a huge campus, is lack of electricity to power these data centers. I know of 2 projects on hold, locally, because they can't supply the electricity needed to maintain operations.
