The site explicitly mentions “AI data centers”, but how do you differentiate AI data centers from… non-AI data centers I guess?
I understand the anti-AI sentiment and environmental issues, etc. but I also think a lot of non-technical people don’t realise that literally everything they do online uses a data center.
AI datacenters outscale every other kind of data center by an extremely large margin. Most data centers are smaller than a Costco.

Most new builds by the larger companies are pretty big though, even if they’re not dedicated to AI.
