So AI infrastructure buildout is starting to feel a lot like emergency industrial mobilization...

Also, building rapid temp shells plus nearby gas turbines paints a very different picture than the one conveyed by the "clean-energy" PR around hyperscale data centers.

This is what happens when people with big money succumb to AI psychosis.
The real sickness is the years spent chasing stock buybacks and low taxes while infrastructure and industrial capacity languished. What an absurd situation where arrays of "temporary" on-site gas turbines are the only viable way to build new infrastructure like this.
Our parents aren't getting enough AI generated patriotic calls to action! roll out the bulldozers!!
