          I disagree.

          I see your viewpoint more like “I got mugged once by a dude with an accent so now I hate all foreigners”. The data centers I work with don’t fit your narrative. The bad actors are on our shitlist, too.

          I do not. Not for modern society.

          Like to use credit cards? Online banking? eBay? All done in data centers.

            We were talking about AI data centers, which you and I agreed don’t have to exist.

            Don’t Motte-and-Bailey me

              Every CC company is now using advanced “AI” algorithms to approve transaction speed.

              The current state of medical research requires “AI” systems to run the simulations.

              What you see as “AI” is the leftover dregs of the capacity. Used for cat videos and the like. The current buildout is NOT being paid for by memesters. It is the folks that have finally found the real promise that the digital revolution has promised since the 70s. As an outsider, I do not blame you for being misinformed. But - as you would be open to learning how big science is done today if a particle physics researcher explained it - I would hope that you would be open to my lives experience.
