AI is starting to show that it isn't worth the investment and they are STILL building more?!? WTF is going on?
Because I do not think AI is the actual end goal. I think the actual end goal is cloud computing. They want everyone to use thin clients and connect to their data center instead of using a pc at home.
There are multiple goals in mind such as surveillance, pumping the stock market, taking control out of people's hands, excuses to do things like lay people off, etc. In this case or in general for local governments, it's a matter of a select number of people getting a lot of money in their pockets and thus pushing for these data centers to happen.
