This AI data center will be bigger than 2,000 Walmarts and dump '23 atom bombs worth of energy' into the environment every day — and locals are terrified

The scale sounds almost unreal. The proposed campus reportedly spans around 40,000 acres in Box Elder County, Utah, an area larger than many major cities.

This is just one (planned) datacenter of many already existing and even more planned.
To me: All those would only make sense in a dystopian scenario like matrix, skynet or whatever similar... then nonfictional.
None of such scenarios would be good for humans anywhere, not to mention the environment.

So who is promoting such projects for what purpose really anyway?

Technofascists, for world domination. They're not even trying to be sneaky about it.

@violetmadder I’ll argue that piles of gold turn many of us into sociopaths. Or maybe this is a natural transformation based on our species abundant selfishness. Our measure of success is often based on self, blind to others or not caring about the big picture of our existence.
@grootinside @gerrymcgovern Answer: This is the run away, unsupervised by responsible adults, corrupted crap game run by competing profit and power Corpo entities run on the back of the Nation (as I see it in the US), the table controlled by the fat cat GOP dealers in support of the Trump House, who sincerely feels democracy stands in the way of his scams, power, sick and psycho whims.
