What's wrong with that? There are now materials that allow you to have solar panels on a window (so they are not opaque anymore), and we can put data centers under our feet.

Yes, so our buildings' windows will be solar panels, what's wrong with that? And all our floors can be data centers, what's wrong with that?

You may want to lay off the LLM and practice your reading comprehension.
Ok I guess my mind didn't think "entire surface of the earth" would really mean entire surface of the earth because that's just abhorrently stupid. I mean, in order to cover the entire surface of the earth with datacenters, we would first need to build stuff on the entire surface of the earth... Which would take... thousands of years? And I'm sure we would grow some trees on top of the data-centers along the way.
