    I can only hope this is true. Most voters aren’t paying a bit of attention to where the money comes from.

    They’re using AI. They think it’s wonderful, they’ve barely heard about the controversy around data centers, and think “data centers are where the internet it, yOU lIkE thE inTErNeT, Don’T yoU?”

    The Top 10 AI Uses in 2025 (none of which it does very well):

    • Therapy and companionship
    • Organizing my life
    • Finding purpose
    • Enhanced learning
    • Summarizing content
    • Generating ideas
    • Generating code (for professionals)
    • Improving code (for professionals)
    • Creativity
    • Visual art and design

      My thoughts exactly. I know two folks who are going all in with AI and haven’t even considered any controversy. Feels like they live on another planet. Hell, one of the guys was even showing off his pervert glasses and when I called them pervert glasses he laughed and said he hadn’t heard that before.

      I really hope those folks are in the minority.

      So, you also cannot discern the difference in traditional DCs and AI DCs? I feel like you know and I’m missing something.
