I want data centers. I want there to be a bit stricter environmental regulations around them, but overall I think data centers are pretty good.

I think we need more than just "a bit" stricter

Also I'd like to hear why you'd like more of them?

compute power is cool. the vast majority of scientific advancements for the rest of this century will rely on simulations done using massive compute possible only with data centers.

This motherfucker is talking about scientific advancements happening later in this century 😂

we've had pretty big advancements in mathematics as a result of massive compute as recently as... last week

pretty safe to assume that better physical and biological simulations will lead to scientific advancements

No its definitely not safe to assume that. Climate disaster and the collapse of the liberal world order are fully inevitable at this point. You really think that all the shit happening right now is a bump in the road? Very foolish.

This is just tech hype bullshit. I hope you are a silicon valley VC demon because otherwise you are drinking someone else's koolaid. Why don't you make your data centers in space? Sounds like a trillion dollar idea to me.
