For example, most companies would swear they were decided on cutting carbon emissions, just to forget everything when it comes to build data centers.
This doesn't seem contradictory if you consider that success at AGI will solve the problem of carbon emissions, one way or another. If one data center ultimately replaces a whole medium-sized city of commuters...

Then we find out how long it takes for a medium sized city of commuters to start killing each other, elites and burning down data centers. Once they're hungry enough it'll happen for sure
Data centres should have plenty of good loot. Raw materials like copper or at least aluminium. Maybe even steel, but value proposition there is less likely. I suppose someone will be interested in example fuel too if there is fuel based backup generation.
Thinking about that, a world dominated by data centers will be relatively easy do disrupt, someone just needs to destroy a dozen or so datacenters to bring everything down.
I guess this is what Plato meant when he said that people would have to be dragged out of the cave kicking and screaming, and would then demand to be let back in.
