I think delaying the build-out of data centers is a good thing. If you've got a scarce resource, you either need to find a way of getting more of that resource or change how you use that resource to meet your end goal. The scarcity of data centers, compute, or storage should create the pressure to drive increased engineering to reduce demand for those resources.

We have seen some changes that improve LLM efficiency, but not enough yet. We need to put more pressure on the AI industry to reduce its resource use through engineering.
