According to the job listing found by Electrek, Tesla is currently hiring staff for Tesla's "1st of its kind Data Centers." Tesla is a company with a huge demand for computing, especially with training self-driving technology on its hardware. The company is building its training chips called Dojo D1, which is used to train neural networks that power the company's Full Self Driving (FSD) that is inferenced locally on each Tesla vehicle. However, to support such training infrastructure and other data processing, the company is in need of its own data centers, and the recruitment for it has just started.

It is interesting to mention a "first of its kind" data center, meaning that some unique design and/or application goal will be present. The global data center is roughly a 250 billion USD market, and with Tesla entering, we are still waiting to see the size of its investment. Nonetheless, the latest position, "Engineering Program Manager, Data Centers," will oversee these efforts and lead the end-to-end design and engineering of this supposedly unique data center.

Musk knows how technology works, the best profit is made from shit that's forever in beta.

That's how crypto rolls too
You just need to not deliver as long as possible while keeping the faith
