We all want more services, software (AI is software) is just another service.

The unfortunate thing is many youngsters aren't forming meaningful bonds with people and will pay money to create bonds with software. Remember the early internet, porn paid for the high speed upgrade.

We are a country of less than 30 million people. How many datacenters to service "AI" do we actually require?

Do we require a Meta datacenter, an Amazon datacenter, a Anthropic datacenter, and etc etc, so we can burn more resources in the name of 'competition' between all these behemoths?
