    Yeah, it would probably only take like half to a full decade or so for the $1m/day to equal the build cost of the datacenter (assuming ~$3b, that’s 8.2 yr)

      They say this data centre is $17b. It really makes you wonder where the revenue to pay for it comes from.

        Oh, well in that case, it will only take ~47 years

        It really makes you wonder where the revenue to pay for it comes from.

        Easy answer, generations of stolen wealth being used to steal more
