if massive compute at scale is "the new oil" might be good to spend more time learning about all the insane poisons and shit that were commercialized (with minimal research into health/environmental effects) to justify the waste production that went into refining oil for gasoline

These places have such scales now that they have their own fauna. I relish the fact that a few hundred rabbits probably live and feed there.
