Fable is already 10T.

The roadblock they ignored is politics.
Three days ago the states where most of the new datacenters are being built (Texas, Ohio, Georgia and others) elected governors who campaigned on halting datacenter construction. The highway metaphor implies money in => intelligence out. Turns out there's at least one other ingredient, and we just ran out of it.
