Makes me wonder about the things that go into datacenters and power plants:
- Air conditioners
- generators
- Racks/Cages
- fire supression
- Concrete, Steel, power lines
etc
- wmf 1y agoAll those have multi-year backlogs.
- PeaceTed 1y agoFor all the issues with power use, I do grant it that a lot of materials and labor in needed at the same time. It isn't JUST burning up cash to make Sora videos. But by the same measure, the Great Egyptian pyramids would have been a huge boom for work even if the final product didn't achieve much for most people.
- catlikesshrimp 1y agoIt was a huge boom of Slave work. I wouldn't consider that a positive, either.
- gambiting 1y agoIsn't it pretty much known at this point that pyramids(at least the Egyptian ones) were not built by slaves?
- catlikesshrimp 1y agoThanks for the correction. The experts think the builders were not slaves. Their life in the barracks was too good for slaves, and similarly were they treated in death (which was specially important there) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_ancient_Egypt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_ancient_Egypt
