“ The “market” demands efficiency to generate a higher return on investment.
AI will drive efficiency like literally, nothing before. The impact on manufacturing and logistics will rival the Industrial Revolution. This will result in reduced expenses and higher profits.AI requires huge processing centers. Those centers require huge amounts of energy and water to keep them running and keep them cool.”

If these data centers are so valuable, why do residential electricity and water users have to pick up the bill for building and maintaining and running them? Shouldn’t the data center owners be picking up the bill for all these costs, as they are going to be the ones profiting from them?

Why are you asking me? I have no idea.

I do know that in Texas, these companies go to the power companies and pay them for five years in advance. That gets their attention.
