This meme implies that AI data centers have been around for a long time. They have not. And it's not really the number of data centers that matters it's the techniques that AIs use.
Huh that's odd, then how come DeepMind was founded checks notes in 2010?
OpenAI and others have had data centers training models for 10 years. Chatgpt was released in 2022. A data center was churning for years before release to create that model.
This response implies that you actually understand the point being made. You don't. If you think this is only about AI datacenters, I have to assume you're letting the AI 'think' for you. Otherwise, that says a lot about you, and none of it is positive.
AI have been running in datacenters for over a decade, it didn't just spring up overnight while the companies are building datacenters that cost billions in hardware that will be replaced in less than 5-10 years. They might as well be setting the cash on fire, it would harm the planet less than the result of pissing away billions of dollars on datacenters that may be bankrupt in under a decade when the AI companies start actually charging for cost and hardware that will need replaced before then.
