>An AI (or crypto mining) datacenter is fundamentally a financial fraud (or most charitably, in Mr. Greenspan's immortal phrasing, a result of "irrational exuberance") that has taken physical form. I really dislike the modern trend of trying to recategorise things when you dont like them. A datacenter is in the business of providing power and rackspace to a customer. The customer is in the business of providing compute to AI users or a crypto network. That you are vociferously opposed to those pursuits does not invalidate them in any way. >and their operators are happy to waste millions fighting even doomed legal battles to keep the music playing so they don't have to grab a chair. What does that even mean. | ||
