What People Get Wrong About Data Centers

Every app, every AI tool, every stream lives somewhere physical — and most people have no idea what that actually looks like. In this clip we clear up the confusion. Malcolm and Thomas get into the misconceptions around data centers and the disparity between how the public pictures them and what they really are — the land, the power, the resources it takes to keep the digital world running. From there they get into the role AI is playing in society and where it's pushing the future of work, for better and worse.
