33. 100% high grade bullshit

Thu Jun 11, 2026, 02:15 PM

Thursday

The corporate billionaire losers are so inept that they probably
used a.i. to come up with this desperate attempt to gaslight
us. There is no legitimate reason to have the number/size of
any "data" centers.
In 2000, scientists estimated that the entire printed contents of the U.S. Library of Congress would take up 10 terabytes of memory. And a petabyte (2 50 bytes) of memory could hold roughly one copy of all of the printed information in the world.
The average 1st gen data centers hold over 1,000 terabytes
