Data centres require a capital investment of millions of $€¥£ per job they create. And they create hardly any.
Once running, they heighten the keenness of the management class to replace people with AI that is not up to the task.
How the ever loving fk does this grow an economy?
Or is the ‘growing’ bit a lie and actually destroying the economy is the way that AI is going to ‘solve’ climate change?
