Even as an ML researcher, the behavior of tech companies increasingly disgusts me. How people ever believe companies have the best interests of humanity at heart is beyond me.

Or its going to generate alot of tax revenue. While cities are giving out multi-decade TIFs.

At the end of 20 years, that datacenter won't be usable, and just another tear down.
