I've just played with the Google android local #LLM,
Gemma-4-E4B, its the same model that the wood folk were losing their chips over a few days ago.First, its important to understand it is a fully local model.
No internet connectivity is necessary.How to use it:
1. Download Edge gallery from Play Store
2. Go to models and pick Gemma-4-E4BYou may want to do it on WiFi as its 3.5 GB.
Then just run it via Edge gallery.
No #datacentre
No gas turbines
No rivers for coolingOn a aging 8 Core cell, with 32GB of ram and a GPU it runs very well speed wise.
Its "only" 4 billion parameters, so how good is it?

A company called #VoltaGrid is attempting to build a massive #ai #datacentre and #LNG #powerplant in our community.
Voltagrid takes funding from #Blackstone and #Halliburton!

“A 15,000 sq metre #DataCentre near Perth will no longer go ahead after the developer withdrew plans amid community opposition over its impact on culturally significant sites. The three-storey, 120-megawatt #GreenSquare datacentre in the town of #Hazelmere had been intended to power #CloudComputing and the acceleration of #ArtificialIntelligence, but faced fierce community backlash.
A City of #Swan council review of the proposed development, which was to be located 15km east of #Perth, attracted almost 1,900 public submissions. The #council last week released its responsible authority report into the datacentre, in which council staff recommended rejecting the proposal.
In the event of a power outage, the noise of the #DieselGenerators needed to keep the centre in operation would exceed allowable daytime and night-time levels, the council found. A nearby #school and local #residents would have faced the noise had the generators been in operation.”

They are attempting to build a #LNG powered #ai #datacentre in our community, literally abutted against a massive nature preserve, and unbelieveable coastal hiking trails.No one wants it. The mayor and counsel lie about it with every breath saying it's not a done deal. The billboards are all over town.
Myself and many members of my community will commit sabotage against it at every stage.
This is a given.

What is the footprint of a datacenter on global warming ? on minerals depletion ? on air quality ?
Those are some of the the root questions we need to answer to better grasp the actual footprint of tech infrastructures, including genAI, cloud services, and so on.
Life Cycle Assessment is an important methodology that enables to assess this footprint on multiple environmental criteria.

How can the EU #DataCentre rating scheme serve as a meaningful #sustainability tool if it ignores local #climate realities and water vs energy trade-off? 🌍
Data centres in the Nordics and Southern Europe operate under fundamentally different conditions. ❄️☀️

♨️ Modern computer chips produce a lot of heat, and researchers say they have been able to 3D print a pure copper cold plate that would let data centres cool their tech far more efficiently

DATACENTRE? Optog borgermøde i Holbæk i sidste uge - byen står til at få et datacenter, der bruger fire gange så meget strøm som Holbæk by og skal køre på gasturbiner en stor del af tiden(elnettet er ikke stort nok!), til ære for et postuleret fremskridt og noget uspecificeret AI. Lyt og tænk: fire eksperter taler. #datacentre #holbæk #fakefremskridt #kollaps

Calling it now: it will take one failed attempt (or false flag) at burning down a data centre before all data centres will be heavily militarised areas.

"The treaty was a peace and friendship treaty to allow #colonization on our lands, with the understanding that we were going to share. So, when they take Crown land and turn it into private land, that is a violation of that treaty," https://www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/24/news/wonder-valley-kevin-o%27leary-alberta-first-nation?nih=DnXnwd7eM3OpxcmTIj5NY0CVErN6Tcm1tk5F6M65txQ

Hvis alt det kul vi skal brænde af, for at imødekomme de nye datacentre blev brændt af for at komme tættere på den grønne omstilling, verdensfreden eller uddannelse ville det være nemmere at æde.
Det gør det bare ikke. Kullet bliver brændt af for at generere kode som ingen kan overskue, rapporter som ingen gider læse og billeder som ingen gider at se på.
Det er fandme dumt.

"Kevin O'Leary's plan to build the "world's largest" #datacentre at a cost of $70 billion in northern #Alberta depends on a deal that lets the celebrity investor walk away from the project if the local government can't secure necessary #water licences." https://www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/20/news/kevin-oleary-pins-water-licence-70-billion-data-centre-project-small-alberta?nih=eY8SfpnbfKub5gOTQXWgCkQJoBimRfdskRdJsWkrUL8

This weekend we had a collective work session for 'Another Infrastructure (AI)', an art project about the environmental and social impact of data centres in south Dublin.
Seven artists will build a community-run server and host artist led workshops and events over the next few months, opening conversations about topics including heat, disinformation, tokens, game systems, counter-maps and thneeds.
Including @dasha @yambunz and @aswemaysink

Podcast: Efterspørgslen på det danske elnet er mere end 8 gange større end udbuddet
- og en stor del af den efterspørgsel står #datacentre for
Er det blevet tid til at prioritere produktions-fabrikker over #datacentre ?
For Energinet, som er det statsligt ejede selskab, der driver det centrale danske elnet, valgte i marts at indføre en tre måneders pause, hvor de ikke sætter flere nye projekter i kø til at blive koblet på

For over 1 måned siden nægtede Meta at kommentere på afsløring af massive fyrings-runder og kaldte det »spekulativ omtale«
Nu skal de første 8.000 medarbejdere fyres
Forklaringen er ifølge mediet, at virksomheden satser på kunstig intelligens, hvilket gør, at omkostningerne til eksempelvis #datacentre stiger
