Summary
“When it breaks, it’s going to be an aggressive, horrifying turn because there are no fundamentals to fall back on here.” Author of Where's Your Ed At and host of the Better Offline podcast tells The Tech Report’s Isaac Pound about the brewing scandal as data centres are not getting built at the rate people expect and how intentionally misleading terms are being used to obscure that reality.
