Cannabis farmers dream of retraining as AI businessmen - growing weed has become less profitable than renting data center premises.
According to Forbes, due to the drop in cannabis prices in the United States, producers are trying en masse to lease or sell their farms to artificial intelligence companies. The fact is that there is already a powerful power supply, cooling and ventilation - almost all the basic infrastructure for servers.
True, pulling off such a move is still a task. Thus, one entrepreneur invested $20 million in a farm and hoped to sell it for a data center to at least recoup the investment. But local residents objected to such a neural network neighborhood, and the project stalled.
We are waiting for the new season gentlemen!
