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

Remember how people accused China's economy of being fake and propped up by mass construction of housing that they did not need?

It's that, but it's data centers.

They always accuse their enemies of doing what they themselves are talking about doing behind closed doors.
