Trump on AI data centers:

"I'm letting them build their own power plants. They're building the most beautiful; you've never seen power plants like this.

Communities that don't take a data center, they're making a mistake, because it means jobs, and it means tremendous tax revenue coming into the towns and cities that take them.

The smart ones are saying, "I want them so badly." "

I'm gonna do a GPT session later on how many square feet of DC floor space exist, how many chips are needed per square foot of compute, how much power is needed, and what's the production rate of known power plants and known fabs.

I think the answer is going to prove that there's no way these things can actually be datacenters, they're just building empty warehouses.

Okay so here's the question: Do these DCs plan on renting space and filling capacity over time, or do they not consider their work "complete" until they are filled with hardware owned by the DC owner.

If they're "AI datacenters", then one would presume the latter.

The low number is 65mn square feet. So the question is how much sub-10nm silicon (square meters) is required per square foot of datacenter?

And then the second question is how many square meters of sub-10nm silicon is the world producing?
