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.

That sentence caught me too. The "global ai race" isn't real because ai isn't real, you idiots. You can't evolve horses into motors (thanks Cory).
@eldersea @publicwondering @gerrymcgovern With such a environmentally caustic endeavor in any sane system, government would be running a consolidated effort making these entities work together, not open multiple (30 in the US?) energy sucking, water consuming, and environment harming, competing for corporate profits. But this is the new age of tycoons and capitalism run amuck.

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?
@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.
