I think you have been asking the wrong questions. The usefulness of those centers has been clearly demonstrated. It seems to me that your questions would have better results if the were along the lines of, “Why do I have to foot the bill for increasing the infrastructure in order to run these centers?”. That is a raw deal.
Part of my question is based upon the unfair forcing of these centers in rural defenseless communities.
However when I step back and look at the entire project it just doesn’t make sense to centralize processing a d talk about speed and power especially since most application actually require neither.
It seems that we need better lives. Not better processing. And work is integral to a good life.
When I listen to these tech moguls talk about the magical future that awaits us with the AI fairy... well humans are a fallen creature and the levels of death and destruction humans can unleash is terrible.
If it's true.
