They're not spending hundreds of billions of dollars building AI data centers because they secretly want to create a "digital prison."

If governments or corporations want to surveil people, they already have far cheaper and more effective ways of doing it than constructing massive AI clusters.
Posts like this don't inform anyone or encourage serious discussion. They just replace evidence with paranoia and drag the quality of the platform down.
