  Pretty sure hackernews doesn't take a giant datacenter to run. Its a text-only website managed by nerds. If HN didn't care about redundancy they could probably host it out of somebody's basement.

    And there are zero data centers in between facilitating anything?

      The data centers that already exist are one thing, creating a lot of new ones isn't necessary simply to continue supporting hacker news traffic. These new data centers are entirely a speculative buildout of new capacity to support theoretical (and some existing) demand for AI compute.
