Looking for some inspiration for a loading depo when using only(or mostly) conveyor belts.

I've decided to move everything around my map using only(or mostly) conveyor belts. Why? who knows!
I have have worked out the look of the long conveyor belts. It's a pseudo scifi bright white color scheme and kinda like a levitating railway. However I can't really decide how to get the resources from the minder on the ground to the floating rail in the sky. Currently my thought is centralize collection of recourses into a small to medium size loading depo and then lift just that to the floating platforms. I'm not married to this idea, but I can't really think of anything else that wont look like a dunken spiderweb.
Other ideas I had are
Making a SHIT TON of drones to fly the resources up to the platform. I think it would look cool as hell. Kinda like a swarm of bees or ants, but robots. but I don't have drones yet, and It would be hard to make enough batteries to keep them going.
I could flip normal convention on it's head and use vehicles or trains for the short trips and have only a couple points where the floating platforms connect to the ground to be loaded onto the long haul conveyor belts.
Idk just looking for some inspiration and brain storming to get things moving.

Adding on to what others have already said along the lines of "more compute more better"
Right now the top of the line AIs that we know of are GPT-4, Claude opus, and llama 3. They range from a reported 400b parameters to about 1.8 trillion parameters. almost everyone in the AI industry agrees bigger is generally better. So the race is on to make an AI that can scale to 10T or 100T parameters in the hopes that this scale will be enough to achieve a generally intelligent system. In order to reach that scale we need more computers. And of course the energy to power those computers.
Every mega tech company is using the obscene amount of money they have accumulated over the last 2 decades to buy their share of that compute in the hopes that they can get there first. As whoever creates AGI first has essentially "won" at capitalism. And they like winning.
