Conspiratorial Versus Actual!
As an advocate for Small and Low Tech, and living a Car Free lifestyle, this lifestyle proves my stance as an Earth caring Environmentalist. Artificial Intelligence – or just AI throughout this webpage – is financed primarily by Big Tech giants, and they get all their money from their users and enablers: The Big–4 AI hyperscalers are Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms and Microsoft. They get all their R&D moneys from customers and/or account holders. So it is bizarre to hear these people complaining about such an inevitable Technological advancement.
Microsoft with Cloud services, Windows OS, and hardware such as Surface and Xbox. Meta Platforms account holders, all create the ad revenue that Big Tech uses to create AI & modern Data Centers. And Alphabet has Cloud services, Google search, and YouTube as their main moneymakers. These three, along with Amazon and Apple, form the core group of U.S. Big Tech driving AI innovation, with Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta often cited as the Big–3 in terms of AI infrastructure spending, model development (e.g., Gemini, Copilot, Open AI, Llama), and enterprise/cloud market presence.
Therefore, those who buy from, or have accounts with, or use any of these Big Tech Big Biz products and services, are the direct financial supporters of all major AI investments, with particular focus on modern Data Centers. The greatest uses by volume of Data Centers are enterprise applications, which accounted for approximately 55% of total power demand through 2028 (at least), driven by file storage, transaction processing, and general business digitization.
The next largest categories include Cloud Services, which facilitate scalable, on–demand applications and infrastructure for businesses. Then it's Content Delivery: Streaming video and online services that involve videos and images; these require massive distribution networks to keep content near end–users. And last in this lineup is AI. While growing rapidly and driving new construction, AI currently represents a smaller volume of total existing Data Center capacity compared to traditional enterprise workloads.
But AI has long been an inevitable step in computer advancement, so there is nothing particularly conspiratorial about it. But one thing is as old as time; anything introduced as new will stumble those who are intellectually and/or developmentally disabled, and is proven by how they confront anything new; with rejection and/or skepticism. It is most likely that those who villianize AI and/or Data Centers, are themselves the main revenue sources that are building it all.
AI represents a fundamental shift from general–purpose computing to specialized intelligence, driven by the transition from CPUs to GPUs and Neural Processing Units (NPUs) designed for parallel matrix operations. Unlike previous hardware generations that merely accelerated existing software tasks, AI hardware enables neural networks to learn from data, compressing a decade of computing evolution into a few years through super–accelerated gains in raw compute and algorithmic efficiency.
Current trends indicate a move toward Personal AI (PAI), where intelligence shifts from centralized Data Centers to edge devices, allowing for local, context–aware processing that improves privacy and responsiveness. As AI agents begin to automate complex workflows in fields like medicine and scientific research, the technology is evolving from a tool for information retrieval into a collaborative partner that actively participates in discovery and decision–making processes.
As a Linux Geek, this long–time Small Tech, Open Source, FOSS World inhabitant, only uses AI deliberately via the Open Source paradigm of Brave Search. Keep in mind that if you use any of the Big Biz services mentioned herein, you are a heavy user of AI & Data Centers, as well as the accompanying natural resources that run them.
It is self–righteous and hypocritical to denounce AI & Data Centers, all while being a financier, via your investment in any and all Big Tech entities. It's bizarre that the average person will have a Windows OS PC and/or laptop, an Apple or Android phone, Cloud accounts, a Facebook account, be an avid Melon Husk via TwitX account holder and supporter, and use video & image heavy sites, and then, act as an innocent victims of AI & Data Centers.
In traceable fact, such a blind consumer is as complicit in your investment in AI & Data Centers and the Tech boy wealth-class, as it is technically possible, and there's little else you could do to display your collaboration and devotion. Understood?! Perhaps you're so trapped in pride and ego that you have lost all control of yourself.
