    I thought we were talking specifically about recently built data centers for majority use by AI companies

      They typically don’t just build 'em for AI. Data centers are general purpose buildings. They provide power, cooling, security, floorspace. What goes into 'em doesn’t change anything. You can stuff computers in there that are used for cancer research, cryptomining, AI, ecommerce, it doesn’t matter.
