So there was a hot party in D.C.
Why are AI companies promoting data centers despite growing community opposition?
over the weekend sponsored by a lot of AI industry and aligned think tanks pushing how awesome data centers are in the face of mass public resistance across ideological and rural and urban divides. Let's go and take a look at why some of the partygoers were so excited about our data center future.
I'm at DC's pro-data center party and I'm asking why people love data centers. Because I love the internet and it allows me to be on the internet. They're going to power the future. Kind of necessary infrastructure. It's ridiculous to be against them and I'd rather have them here than in China. I love data centers so I can stream sports. and then cry about my sports teams for better or for worse. But yeah, I love streaming sports and that's why I love data centers. Let's go! I love data centers because America is on the verge of one of the most incredible scientific and technological revolutions and we need to build the infrastructure to make that possible. When you think about why the S&P 500 is higher than it's ever been, you think about artificial intelligence and how this is transforming our economy, and there's only one engine that can propel the S&P 500 to even greater heights, and that's data center, that's compute.
Amazing stuff there, Sagar. Are you persuaded?
They changed your mind. I am not. And I hate to say it, with no shots at Robbie or Nathan Leamer, many friends that were in the crowd, they're in attendance. I have sincere disagreements with them. But I will say, this is the arguments that are presented there. This is the – they always resort to, oh, so you're against using the internet? Again, the number of data centers in the United States – first of all, we actually don't even know the full number. We have to use estimates that are around. What we know is that they were approximately a fourth a couple of years ago as to what they are today.
