I just hope when (if) the hype is over, we can repurpose the capacities for something useful (e.g. drug discovery etc.)

I live next to an abandoned building from the Spanish property boom. It's now occupied illegally. Hype's over yet the consequence is staring at me every day. I am sure it'll eventually be knocked down or repurposed yet it'd be better had the misallocation never happened.
