TBPN · Cloudflare CEO Predicts AI Agents Will Outnumber Humans 1,000-to-1 · 10 Jun 2026 podcast

I mean, a golf course uses more water than than probably all the data centers in the United States over over the course of a year.

So I think that, I think, you know, there, there's, there's, there's a lot of kind of silly concerns that are there.

And, but, but there are, but there are real concerns as well.

We've got to make sure that there are efficient ways to get power to these things, that it's not taking power from, from other, other systems of the grid can support, support that.

And so I think those are all, all, all good considerations for Cloudflare ourselves.

You know, it, we're, we're, we're a little bit different where in, in the case of, you know, if you're a AWS or a Google or,

As SpaceX, you're building one big facility or a handful of very big facilities and putting a ton of machines in that one facility.

Cloudflare is different.

We have a ton of machines, but we spread them massively all around the world.

And oftentimes, we want to go into the places where networks come together.

And so those can be some of the oldest data centers in the world.

In any of those facilities, we may have only hundreds of machines, but collectively around the world, we've got what is effectively much larger than any individual data center which is out there.

I think we're less impacted from the new builds of data centers.

I think we're much more impacted by

How do we find our way into the existing data centers?

And then how do we make sure that the equipment that we're deploying is as power efficient as possible?

Because we're often given sort of here's the envelope that you have to fit your equipment in.

And we're often guests of whoever the local ISP is or whoever a partner is that we're working with in the thousands of buildings that we're in all around the world.

What's new with Italy?

Uh, yeah.
