Steven Jouwersma guided us through a meditation to a hyperscaler.


Hyperscalers are large and very adaptable data centres that scale their capacity to the ever changing flow of data. In the Hyperion cantos (1989) of science fiction writer Simmons, an AI called Ummon* appears. It is shaped like a blob, a non-form. This "blob" of shifting appearance is how we can understand a hyperobject like AI. It has no centre, although it seems to come together at places. The hyperscaler is such a place.
