All the compute being built out is very impressive and it's nice to think it could be used to further science, further our understanding, just in some way for the greater good. But I think mostly it will be used to serve ads.
So what does one of these full time data center jobs look like, day to day? If I’m a software engineer I feel like I’d have to move and get a pay decrease to actually work at one of these? I mean until AI finally puts me out of a job. I guess I wouldn’t really be qualified to work one of these jobs?
It's not easy, actually. You will likely need to be a licensed electrician or a licensed plumber. Both occupations require around 4000 hours of apprenticeship.
Some states don't need a license for low-voltage work, so you might be able to do data wiring.
I imagined the location has to do with the nearby Callaway Nuclear power plant, and the solar projects that Ameren have been putting up in Montgomery County for the past few years.

It's already being used for the greatest good of all, creating value for the shareholders!
It’ll get used to generate an endless stream of AI slop short form videos to captivate viewers to watch more ads.

Ads are the future. If you don't like them then you're a luddite.
Frankly, it should be a crime, a felony even, to purchase something if you haven't seen an ad for it beforehand. Think of the poor middlemen!

Perhaps voice your concern with your elected government representative?
Unless of course, you think your effort is useless.

Oh! Thank goodness! 138 megawatts, they might be able to support the air conditioning systems with that much power.
Also, they said "invested in" which is not the same as paid to add 138MW capacity.
That's not far from St. Louis and Fort Leonard Wood, a hub for basic training among other things. I wonder if that had any impact in the location.

How so? Not seeing the connection.
Data centers are critical infrastructure and having them near military bases could be seen as a security benefit.
