Microsoft has pulled back on over a gigawatt of planned data center capacity, suggesting that they do not think there is a growth future in generative AI (www.wheresyoured.at)

„Microsoft stopped building AI data center infrastructure, therefore Microsoft signals that there’s not enough demand” is a valid point in itself but not enough to merit a blog post that’s this long.

I’m getting an impression that minor fame and success went into Ed Zitron’s head because he now brags about those word counts and other pretentious shit on BlueSky constantly.

Really? That's disappointing.

I was hoping for more credible people to be pointing out the wank that is generative AI.

I don't buy that. The article covers a lot more than the cancellation of data center leases.

It also talks about Stargate, SoftBank, and a lot of other related elements that point to the original premise as the correct one - M$ is aware they're not going to get the bike for Christmas.
