Mark Cuban argues that many AI data centers may eventually be repurposed, even into pickleball courts, because compute price-performance will keep improving.
He compares the situation to fiber: capacity kept jumping from 1G to 10G to 100G, and the market eventually stopped having a fiber bottleneck. His point is that AI infrastructure may follow a similar path as breakthroughs improve efficiency on both the AI and data-center sides.
