They're trying to increase their "compute capacity" over 5 years but aiming for the same cost and energy consumption. It's a drive for some buildout combined with hardware/algorithm efficiency improvements.
They're not trying to build double the data centers every 6 months. But Ars likes the "economic collapse" narrative because I guess their journalist spends too much time on social media.
If a recession comes it likely won't come from AI anyway, and anyhow nothing will happen to these huge tech companies.

The quoted goal is a 1000x increse over 5 years. That works out to an average of 1.9953x increase every 6 months.
