    The horror! The horror!

    What a load of bollocks. A million orbiting "AI" data centers?

    Preposterous. "AI data centers" are already being cancelled because
    there is no demand. Meanwhile the "ChatGPT" company is burning through hundreds of billions of dollars of borrowed money that they will never
    be able to pay back.
