    You can’t tell whether it’s an Ai datacenter or one that merely holds and protects your health data and DMV records. Or a mix.

    The criteria needs to not be the PURPOSE of a DC, since that’s impossible to gauge before or after the build, but the build of the DC.

    • no water cooling
    • ya pay for your power
    • no fucking jet engines outside
    • noise bylaws strictly enforced

    You know, like everyone else.

    One of my contracts is with a gov adjacent org. I know they’ve got your personal info - the stuff like your DMV recs - kept very safely in a datacenter somewhere. It’s safe, reliable, and has great data connections.

    Tear these down and … what? Back to paper in an office somewhere with no backup?
