    Right?

    Like, says who and on what historical basis? People said similar shit about crypto and we all know how that turned out.

        So running a community forum on a decade old laptop, or someone using a hand-me-down phone to watch videos are equal to openAI’s stargate hyperscaler?

        We don’t classify a laptop a data centre just because it was repurposed as a web server, and furthermore, devices are so powerful today that you could probably do the same on a smart watch.

        Either you don’t know what a data centre is, or are intentionally skewing the definition of “data centre” to fit your snarky reply.

          The majority of datacenters and datacenter power consumption are not for AI. Before AI no one cared about datacenters. Still no one cares about datacenters that already existed and make up the majority of datacenters. I don’t understand it. Is this just manufactured outrage?
