Gartner says that by 2030, 80% of neoclouds will have ceased operations, that AI data center owners would need to generate $8.5 trillion in revenue to cover the current spend and hit an ROIC of 12%, and that $4tr+ in assets face writedown risk by 2032. www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/...

By 2030, 80% of Neocloud Providers Are Expected to Cease Independent Operations
More than $3.5 trillion of AI infrastructure spending could be exposed to impairment by the end of 2030, if AI providers continue their current pace of capital spending, according to Gartner, Inc., a business and technology insights company.

“In 2026, AI providers are expected to spend nearly $1 trillion on AI infrastructure, and are forecast to invest an additional $6 trillion between 2027 and 2030,” said Will Sommer, Sr Director Analyst at Gartner. “However, our research indicates that enterprise and consumer AI revenue will be insufficient to support profitable returns on all planned AI capital expenditures during this period.”

“Through 2030, AI data center owners would need to generate a cumulative $8.5 trillion in revenue to cover announced capital spending, financing costs, and a 12% return on invested capital (ROIC), which we assume to be the hurdle rate of investment capital,” said Sommer. “However, total enterprise and consumer AI revenue that can be attributed to AI data centers during this period is forecast to reach no more than $3.6 trillion. Because most AI-native providers operate asset-light business models, we predict that less than half of AI revenue will be earned by providers that own significant AI infrastructure.”

Failure to achieve sustainable ROIC on rapidly depreciating assets would almost certainly necessitate write-downs. Based on Gartner projections, a continued AI infrastructure investment trajectory could leave more than $4 trillion in asset value exposed to write-down risk through 2032. In this scenario, Gartner does not expect the 12% ROIC to be achieved until the end of 2032 at earliest.

I think I've been half-arsing it with the Steam Sale this time around, as there's only 20-something recommendations, but they're good games. Maybe give the thread a look, and if you've picked up anything cool on my recommendation? Let me know!

I used to think transhumanists were kinda cool, just a bit out-of-touch with reality. And look where we are now. Maybe we should not give unfathomable amounts of money to groups subscribing to philosophies stemming out of pseudo-science. Who would have thought. /s

There is more than 190GW of compute capacity in planning, yet it appears that Anthropic and OpenAI, who represent 80%+ of all demand, only really have need for a combined 8GW to 16GW - who are the customers for the rest? www.wheresyoured.at/premium-ai-is-getting-way-too-expensive/

To take this a step further…why does anyone need AI compute in the levels that it’s currently being built and deployed? To run or train open source models? Because those are the only two options, and I’m not sure why anyone other than an AI lab or AI startup would need to do that, nor what they would get out of doing that (versus paying a hyperscaler or using an AI lab’s API) other than the chance to say “we have AI compute capacity.”

Then there’s the question of how much compute these companies actually have. OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar has said that OpenAI ended 2025 with around 1.9GW of compute capacity, and if we assume Anthropic had comparable amounts, that puts the “demand” for AI compute for both at somewhere in the region of 4GW of capacity, and I can’t imagine it’s increased by much more than another 2GW in the last six months, even with Anthropic’s rental of 300MW of SpaceX’s Colossus-1 data center and however many other megawatts might come out of Colossus-2.

While both (in theory) have “insatiable demand” for compute — and to be clear, this is not what’s happened, this much compute demand did not come online in 2026 — even if we doubled their capacity in 2026, that’s still a mere 8GW of demand from companies that make up, as I’ve estimated before, 70%+ of the world’s compute demand, if not more.

And buddy, we’re building way more capacity than that.

Per Sightline Climate back in February, there’s around 190GW of AI compute capacity in planning, though only 5GW appeared to be in construction at the time. If we assume a 1.3 PUE (a measurement of how efficiently a data center uses power, with a lower number meaning higher efficiency of power headed to actual computing components), that gives us around 146GW of usable — and thus billable — IT load. If we assume a 1.4 PUE, that number drops to 135GW.
