How long before the first dystopian novel or movie about starving, frozen, homeless hordes storming data centres?
Perhaps it already exists.
And how long before it happens for real?
It can’t be long now.
It’s a weird future the AI gurus envision where people don’t need light or heat or energy to cook or, in some locations where houses are being seized via eminent domain or compulsory purchase, even their homes.
Let them eat data!
