User satirically questions need for data centers, inadvertently proving AI's necessity

User @markwbudde posted a satirical tweet ostensibly complaining about not finding a reason for data centers. However, by listing their morning activities—uploading 2TB of sequencing data for global collaboration, Zoom meeting transcription, backing up 14,000 photos, syncing calendars, navigation, and payments—they effectively rebutted the "AI bubble" narrative, illustrating the essential role of data centers and AI/cloud services in research, daily life, and business.
