In ten years those data centers will be converted into homeless shelters.
I oppose data centers, but not for any environmental reasons.
Whose data is being collected, stored, searched and manipulated within those cavernous confines?
If a company needs a ‘data center’ for some reason, it should be a small and innocuous addition to their ‘campus’, not a gargantuan industrial scale complex that takes up hundreds of acres, visible from low earth orbit, and is a blight on the landscape.
I rifled through a whole lot of material this weekend using AI but only the free stuff. I took none of it as gospel and only for direction as a research assistant. Not sure how much, if anything, I would pay for it though.
Data centers have to be becoming like my catch-all barn, a place for what seems like harmless stuff I may use someday that eventually just takes up space and becomes worthless even to me.
The dead end marketing leads AI or something persists in long after you have made your purchase or lost interest in confound me for their uselessness to whoever pays for them.
