Our Reading

The launch follows a familiar script.

Meta’s new data center in Texas is just another brick in the wall of its global AI ambitions. A 168-megawatt facility is a lot of power, but we’ve seen this movie before. “AI computing needs” sounds like a euphemism for “we’re going to need a lot more servers.” And of course, it’s “expandable over time” – because who doesn’t love a good upgrade cycle?
