    Instead of building data centers we need to be taking advantage of this insane demand…

    Fuck billions for data centers, subsidize domestic chip/drive production and build up an infrastructure that can evolve as well into whatever the next generation is.

    No matter what it is, it’s obviously going to need a shit ton of hardware.
