    Your missing the idea that data centers have huge amounts of storage that are very expensive to protect and cool. Especially for companies like meta that record sooooooooo much on each and every one of us.

      I’m not missing it we just already talked about it, like I said that is incredibly far off, these have to be at the level of being profitable while being easy to replace. Once you start using exabyte storage you need more exabyte storage to back it up since it’s only other thing capable of handling the size, no for profit company would put their life on the line for experimental tech when just having loads of harddrives works fine, is well battle tested and has every ounce of support you could ever need.

      Experimental and advanced research/project will probably be the only use case in our lifetime.
