I think youre gravely underestimating the human power it takes to keep facilities like this running. They wouldn’t be building acres of parking lot into them with multiple armed security lanes if they weren’t necessary for the amount of people that work there.
Not to give these companies any credit as “job creators” because the amount of jobs they “create” for the amount of land and resources theyre wasting is net negative ten thousand times over.
Google keeps building tons of these ugly data centers that look like copies of Langley. Gone are the days where theres a quirky Bayside campus with fun colors and slides and shit.
These things are already disastrous. Theyre put in outskirts of medium cities and do not take any planning into consideration. These facilities employ well over a 1000 people in places with no transit. I drove past one on a workday morning on a road trip and the only way in was a single left turn lane across a state highway. Not a single aspect of AI crap has any essence of humanity considered. Just reckless, vapid nonsense.
Friendly reminder that all rich people say stuff like this and worse about your class every day. It just doesnt get recorded.
