You get my HPC job running on a single rack and I can show you a very big customer who would pay a LOT for that.

Genai datacenters are purpose built for those nvidia gpu racks and will likely not be very useful, or at best very inefficient, for regular datacenter usage. The world would be better off with either farmland, housing, natture or even - and I don’t quite say this lightly - parking lots.
