Companies are valued on potential now, not actual product or results. To create value in that landscape like that, which also demands shareholder quarter over quarter gains in perpetuity,, you need more potential. That means more data centers. More. More. More. Beyond facilities these companies contribute little to life, so you build more centers for more profit.

We have IRAs and pensions to fund. This is about investors, not AI or curing cancer.
