Data centers

Spooky Owl!

Telly Talk Supreme
What the hell are they?

No one even knew the term two years ago, and they've cropped up in massive numbers across the country, using huge amounts of water, power and land, and creating unending noise throughout the night. The politicians and media support these data centers (when they even acknowledge their existence) while the citizenry of both parties are dead set against them.

Supposedly, they're for A.I. purposes. But their sudden roll-out has been too rapid and too organized to not seem utterly malevolent in intent.

What's your favorite conspiracy theory about these data centers? I envision them as gargantuan little Auschwitzes, all the water necessary to wash the blood off the floor. Others think they may be camps designed to force people into the genetic melding of Man & Machine our current overlords openly admit they want to facilitate. Others still believe these data centers are for surveilling all of us, with the bill placed at our own feet.

Perhaps all of the above.

At any rate, these centers seem to be the most dystopian, nefarious things I've heard of being done on American soil.
