OpenAI rebrands data centers as "compute campuses"
Original: OpenAI's plan to make data centers less hated: Rename them "compute campuses" https://www. techspot.com/news/114411-open
OpenAI is reportedly attempting to improve public perception of its data center expansions by renaming them "compute campuses." The move has drawn mockery online, with critics calling it a PR exercise that changes nothing about the projects' local impacts, such as power and water use, while the company continues a massive buildout to support its AI models.
Why now: People are mocking what they see as tone-deaf corporate rebranding of controversial infrastructure.
