The Stratos artificial intelligence datacenter footprint will cover more than 40,000 acres (62 sq miles) over three sites in Box Elder county in north-western Utah. The facility will require about 9GW of power, which is more than the entire state of Utah currently consumes, and suck up a significant amount of water in an area that has been hit by severe drought in recent years.

    That’s astonishing. How many servers will be running in that thing? Billions? Am I missing something?

      Zero servers are ever gonna run in this thing, it’s just… even more obvious than with all the other fucking absued data center proposals.
