Huge datacenters being built everywhere taking as much power and water as entire cities. Its the foundation of our dystopia thats being built.
You can only imagine what kind of money these data centers are going to be making when the entire world depends on them to watch humanity, control robots, drones, cameras with real time AI analytics, vehicle control and monitoring, and so on.
Big tech is planning ahead. So I know they are talking about AI but its a lot more. The cant really say what they are investing all the money for. But its not hard to figure out.
