Rerouting versus pausing AI compute
Calls to slow frontier AI overlook power contracts signed years ahead, already-purchased accelerators and equipment depreciation, one post argues.

The author points to long-term power commitments, accelerators already invoiced, shipped or installed, and depreciation that starts when equipment is unpacked. Their central contention: compute will reroute rather than sit idle.
