    What about data centers that make the internet work?.. Would you rather not be able to post this?

      Yes actually. The internet should become more decentralized. Ultimately it would all be run from homes, or distributed over many devices.

      This would avoid many of the effects of big tech centralizing so many things like AWS or google services going down. DNS problems, or Cloudflare.

        While we’re dreaming I feel like internet infrastructure should be nationalized like other utilities also should be…

      I was thinking, imagine if we used all the data centers for literally anything other than AI

      Yeah we need to start making the distinction between traditional data centers and these new AI spreading data centers.
