This presumes that data centers offer no value in return.

When in fact, they return negative value.

    Won’t you think of the ad delivery system? And what about the profiling? Eventually, governments we’ll be able to pluck rabble rousers off social media to quell the public from rioting.

    High value, just not for any of us.

    Stop the disingenous techbro "but you already use datacenters/yet you live in society, curious" excuse. We are talking about hyperscaler datacenters here.

    We know that the cloud uses datacenters, but they are far smaller and use less energy. Almost all new datacenters being build or being projected are huge hyperscaler datacenters, which uses a lot more water and energy than any of our previous ones.
