@ana Actually, speaking of malls, I'm surprised these corpo nerds aren't buying out current, abandoned or demolished malls to make data centers instead of wasting resources to create new data centers.

@ana And a roomful of people typing on manual typewriters could earn the name "NI Data Center" NI being Natural Intelligence...

[Gast]

@ana actually calling them "slop factory" works too

[Gast]

@ana in order to get the investments ($)

[Gast]

@ana who actually owns the data in the center? artists? #artist #art

The term datacenter implies that the data is actually the most valuable part about it; a fitting observation imo.

@ana bravo

@LukefromDC @ana now we can all be the knights of NI! #montyPython

@mast0d0nphan @ana I'd guess it's chiefly a ventilation issue. Given how stuffy the air inside them can be ordinarily, I can't imagine that cooling computers in them would be easy!

[Gast]

@ana Oh no I hate that. I mean it's perfect, but the way it fumbles off my tongue is just fucky.
...now that I think about it that's perfect for AI generated bs. Looks good, feels off and gross in a way I can't articulate.
