I don't get it, why do we need so fucking many? Reading the thread about temps downwind from data centers and it's describing all the multiple HUGE data centers just around phoenix and it's just, like, why are they building so fucking many???

It's one thing to be like "yeah we're building a facility that uses more power than human civilization to power the Lying Machine" but it's like they're building fucking thousands of them. What the fuck is that?

Let's be incredibly generous and assume The Nerds invent intelligence, even then what is the fucking point of all this shit

I don't even know how it does that!

is the promise that it'll make the computer Overlord smarter? faster?

I just don't get it especially when i can just type random shit into the google search bar, knowing this costs them money, and it seems to be entirely infinite and not rate limited, so I just don't understand what all these additional facilities are even for if it's already got enough juice to "work" consistently

The money in the stock market has to go somewhere and the rest of the economy is already in a recession.
