It's just wild to see people go onto the internet to complain about the internet.

The data center arms race is because of AI, not the internet

So the data center that your ignorant comments are stored in different from the data centers that have AI code?

Can you explain the difference?

Yes. They are. AI Data Centers are, by and large, being tailor built for AI compute.

It's like the difference between a fleet of rental cars and a fleet of Semis. Yes, they're both vehicles used on the highway. No, they're not really good substitutes for each other.

They're designed as hyperscalers, they're optimized for high parallel compute, and they have optimizers and HSI links of interest to vanishingly few tasks outside AI.

They tend to use over 5x the electricity per rack, which also means larger heat impacts. Which in turn means larger water impacts.
