Ive been reading some of the comments supposedly attributed to noted corporate predator Jeff Bezos. Among other things he allegedly stated we need ai data centres to create the super computer that will solves the world's problems. Spoiler alert: the answer will be "42". He also seemed to be suggesting water use be prioritized for data centres over human beings, but some are claiming that's not true. Based on what I've read about the guy, though, I wouldn't put it past him.
