Relatively unpopular opinion:
Data centers are actually necessary and definitely not a bad thing.
Why?
Simply because data needs to be stored somewhere.
AI won’t replace thinking.
But it will most certainly replace many jobs that didn’t require high-level thinking in the first place.
Don’t shoot the messenger.
I really wonder what it takes for some people to understand that it is impossible to fight against AI.
AI is not going anywhere.
You don’t have to love or be obsessed with AI, but at the very least acknowledge it.
Ignorance (when deliberate) will just make you look like an idiot.
Being early is uncomfortable.
There’s no broad consensus to reassure you. No proven playbook to follow. Sometimes, not even much evidence suggesting that you’re right.
That’s exactly why being early is extremely valuable.
AI won’t make human skills irrelevant.
But it will make average skills much easier to replace.
When everyone has access to the same tools, being good enough becomes less valuable.
Being exceptional becomes the advantage.
The people who win long term aren’t always the ones who move the fastest.
They’re the ones who keep showing up when progress feels slow.
Consistency looks boring in the moment.
Until you look back and see how far it took you.
