You can’t eat a data center but you can have a byte or just a nibble

It’s mind boggling the data center company wanted 600 acres. That’s a bit under 1 square mile. That’s big enough for a small town.

I think they made the best decision for themselves and for the local population. The costs will spike for neighbors, and they may see a dip in the quality and availability of their water. However, I can’t help but feel they might regret their decision over the long arc of how AI will eat the current version of society. Maybe not. AI won’t produce milk or crops.

They’d be better off buying an abandoned building and setting up their data center there.

Dont mean to flex but totally called this as being why they tanked farmers so hard. Drive down prices for their land and buy up on the cheap for data centers.

Good for them, it can be tough to stick to your guns when that much money is involved but they made the right choice.
These data centers are a blight and will result in negative consequences for those in the surrounding areas. Once the AI bubble pops then they’ll almost certainly just be abandoned and left to rot.

God bless them. Not sure what the current value is worth but $25M is a lot of money
