Edited that comment while you were reading.

Yeah I know that, but you also said this:

surplus value can't be extracted from technology, it can only make workers more efficient cost for cost.

we don't own the datacenters, therefore it won't ever be making value to us.

Nuance is important.

I was so descriptive that I doubled back on all of my points. Whatever you're not picking up is 1000% on you.
