Tens of billions spent on AI data centers. But people still starve across the planet. Amazing.

Capital misallocation do be like that, but I don't think that capital would be feeding children in the Congo if it wasn't for Facebook's latest folly.

The issue is mostly the corrupt elites that control these impoverished counties, not foreign aid or lack thereof.

I wonder if there is any difference between the corrupt elites that control impoverished countries and the corrupt elites that control the biggest corporations. If the CEOs had full control over government (which seems to be their aim, and they are succeeding), what would they do with that power I wonder?
