As data centers proliferate, conflict with local communities follows

The only problem is the big redundancy here. Those huge 'AI' models are already fed and trained with all available books, science papers, software sourcecodes and other so far achieved knowledge of us humans. So why should there be a need of many several but in fact same sized data warehouses and storages? There will only come a very few data increments from now, also many innovations or research successes are not probable in aging, shrinking societies and de-industrialized economies, so a bit of redundancy still might be useful for security and safety purposes, but surely not so much more. Three to five data centers per continent and operated with shared access, this should be and is sufficient. No more need for more data centers everywhere or nuclear power plants in every corner to operate them. That all has still long peaked out.
