Ah, so this is The Web I have been hearing so much about!
more precisely, the interwebs
SIG Bovik ?
I visited a piggery once. The smell was intense, but what amazed me was that the ceilings of the sheds were completely covered in spider webs, so thick that you could barely see the metal ceiling.
So… if they want bugs to feed the spiders, I suggest filling the data centres with pig shit. Shit in, slop out!

Do you WANT AI cyborg spider overlords?
Because that’s how you get AI cyborg spider overlords.

We need more jobs. Just use people.
Finally the ancient craft of fan bearers will be resurrected.
You can pay a spider some bugs, I don't think a human would be happy to receive just food as a payment method.

Maybe not today, but give it a couple more years of increased data center build outs and AI job displacement and maybe the math changes on this!

So we come back full circle to slavery
Honestly using people for cooling AI data centers feels more like the matrix.
You guys have been hired today to just seat there and absorb the heat.
... well, that would guarantee I never take a gig in one of those data centers...
Nope...just nope!
