Marijuana producers are giving up growing weed to turn their farms into data centers for AI.
Making money from cannabis today is no longer so profitable, while artificial intelligence companies are in dire need of well-equipped premises and are willing to pay a lot of money for them. And grass farms are already equipped with powerful power grids, cooling systems, water supply and sometimes even fiber optics, which creates ideal conditions for placing data centers.
But the funny thing is that local residents who live near the farms were against the appearance of data centers, preferring to be near marijuana and not noisy servers.
Vibecoders turned out to be worse than drug addicts.
