Use the extra time you have today to watch this video. Here are some takes from it: 1 The US has built a physical empire around the promise that AI will become essential. 2. Data centres have become the product and are built to make Big Tech look real. ⬇️

“Really, for Finland, there are no benefits,” he said. “They are international companies serving international customers. Very little corporate taxes go to Finland. Datacentres ultimately have very little benefit for others except the datacentre operator.”
