@corbet They admit that they’re trying to destroy the web and they already did. Not only the web, but also the earth. AI data centers? Sounds like water waster to me. And they produce Co2 so much. That’s why some people had rejected the offer to sell their land to developers who want to build the unnecessary data center.
