Engaging articles of the weekData center news…can’t go a day without touching on that, can we…stuck my head into the info flow earlier this week and saw some chatter that pops up now and then: “Calm down, AI/data center power demand isn’t going to amount to all that much, Microsoft pulling back big.” Hmm, interesting. So I tracked down the story. As usual, have to read the whole thing.
