Michael Burry flags AI data center bottlenecks: 10-year power waits, short chip life

Michael Burry, known from "The Big Short," has analyzed the economic tensions within AI data center development. He highlights two critical bottlenecks: the lengthy wait times for powering new data centers in the US, estimated at 6-10 years, and the debate surrounding the useful lifespan of AI chips, with Meta suggesting around 5.5 years. This analysis points to potential economic fragilities in the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure. AI
