AI Data Centers Are Deeply Unpopular, Across the Political Spectrum, John Gruber’s comment:
It’s hard to overstate how unpopular this polling paints AI data centers. It’s just an absolute messaging and marketing disaster for the entire tech industry.
In case you missed it: I’ve been working in IT and data center-related tech and projects for more than three decades. Not all data centers are meant to host AI-related stuff. But the trend is clear: it’s becoming harder and harder to find general-purpose data centers… why? Because hosting AI is much more profitable per square-foot. Like Gruber said: Money talks.
