They are building something that doesn't even need to exist. We can have fully remote work with today's tools that's _way_ better than the average office environment, certainly way more productive per hour spent. You don't need a roomful of GPUs to have it. All that's in the way is organizational inertia and managers who can't justify their own existence without butts in the chairs, herded into an "open" office like cattle.
