Data Center Fallacy
America does not need data centers to advance A.I.
Data centers are required because legacy software companies – Oracle, Amazon and others, use 1980s obsolete technology which requires data centers. The current tech stack, used by most software firms, ignores 40 years of advanced chip design – never optimizing their software for the incredible chip improvements. All that speed was lost.
Fractal customers and our demonstration projects prove there is no application, anywhere on the planet today, that cannot be run without a data center. Not only can any application be run without a data center, it will run 1,000 to a million times faster, at a fraction of the cost, and use less electricity than a kitchen microwave oven.

As our team presented the future of battlefield computing to a group of war fighters at 7:00 AM, they had to take a break because the mother of all centralized computing paradigms went down. Amazon crashed a data center and everything from banks in Europe to Disneyworld went down – many people learned painfully the service to which they subscribed...
If you are following the A.I. story, peeking through the hype is the realization A.I. is not paying off – is not close to paying off – 95% of the projects are a loss. MIT says 95%: https://www.axios.com/2025/08/21/ai-wall-street-big-tech Cost constraints are choking A.I. development. Some wags say build more data centers and eventually costs will fall. Those would be the...
This week a stunning piece in the South China Morning Post reported the Chinese Government DEVELOPED a SWARM battlefield weapons system completely distributed – able to survive anything Americans can throw at it. It is a “self-healing network,” with “thousands of highly resilient A.I.- driven kill weapons – un-crewed aerial, surface and underwater.” The article sent shockwaves through the Pentagon...
Manias have a predictable set of activities – when they happen, or fail to happen, the mania comes crashing to earth. The DotCom debacle crashed and exploded – taking the NASDAQ with it for years – at the moment the world realized the Emperor Has No Revenue. The hype curve for A.I. is so far over the top there is...
This week the ongoing battle between the massive centralized data center team and the distributed, compute where the data is team – took an historic turn. NVIDIA stepped up – going all in on classical economist Adam Smith – specialization is better than dreaming – get to work building Small Language Models. Most A.I. agents do not need Large Language Models – says NVIDIA. A.I. agent problems...
If you follow us here you are probably interested in one of the greatest technology head-butts about to happen in the last 50 years. There is a Black Swan Event now hitting the A.I. world and you have a front row seat – and we are telling you what to look for! Maybe you joined the site because you were...
The entire tech world is locked in a race to deliver new, currently impossible computing outcomes. The race is between speed – quantum speeds – versus size – massive data centers – so large they are measured in acres, not square feet. The quantum speed team knows speed always wins, so they are designing computers with different physics – delivering...
The largest fallacy since the Tulip Bulb Market Bubble is the nonsense that the world needs data centers – hundreds more – to power artificial intelligence applications. What makes this data center fallacy more egregious – and dangerous – is millions of acres of farmland will be torn asunder, electric bills needlessly raised for years – before the first such...
It is estimated that over 60% of the work every data center or cloud performs is managing legacy applications – often ones where the developer is long gone, the source code may be lost and the system is terribly expensive to keep going. Now, a Fractal Digital Twin can be built in 90 days or less, never touching the legacy...
There are two great things about getting old – you know you aren’t going to die young and you have pretty much seen everything before. At least in the technology space, history not only repeats itself, it rhymes, it uses the same words in the same order sung to the same tune. Why do we have data centers? There could...
