  1. Hello AI

    Goodbye people.

    Let's build some more #datacentres so we can spew out more CO2 while we ask #AI how to stay cool on a burning planet..

  5. Could a US tech giant switch Australia off with one click?

    Labor MP Ed Husic has a blunt warning: a handful of US tech firms could switch off the AI tools Australia runs on.

    On 15 July the Prime Minister used a national address to label artificial intelligence (AI) a national interest, announcing a new Office of AI inside his department, mandatory rules for large data centres, and a digital duty of care for big tech.

    At the same time, Sydney is being tipped as one of the world's data centre hotspots, with firms like Anthropic and OpenAI scouting sites and the build-out talked up as the next mining boom.

    The catch: Australia has no frontier AI model of its own, so we store the data without controlling the technology.

    Digital Rights Watch founder Lizzie O'Shea and the McKinnon Institute's Tom Mooney, once chief of staff to Foreign Minister Penny Wong.

  8. "...the truth is that these structures guarantee few returns to the places that host them. Unlike other industrial projects, data centres don’t spark networks of suppliers and tradespeople in nearby regions. They are economically hermetic, with foreign chips moving in and out, serving clients that may or may not be based in Canada." #AI #DataCenters #DataCentres #Tech #Canada #Macleans cc: @Aepasek macleans.ca/society/technology

  10. We're not accepting it. But we have no voice unless we take to the streets. Our politicians right now do not represent us, they represent Capital.
    And Capital wants its CSAM generators, because there isn't a rape island to satisfy their oligarch desires right now....it's all that matters to them.

    They get the Billions so they can rape and get away with it, it gives them life.

  12. I get the feeling that UKGOV cares more about Data Centres for Peados than actually feeding the nation, an Oligarchs' whisper and a promise is worth more than our humble peasant lives.

    How many local jobs will these Data Centres create Andy? Employed locally is it?

    They are of NO benefit to the country, they're only of benefit to the Rich.

    FOOD is more important!

  14. Look what the priorities are for this Government, fucking AI Datacentres....while our lakes and rivers dry up!

    You can bet the Data centre target will be more important than New Homes, Paedophile Oligarchs don't care about those, just their CSAM generating Data Centres.

  16. 'Both Fife and Falkirk councils are due to make decisions on the grant of planning consent for the massive data centres in Auchtertool and Larbert respectively, just two of the 17 presently making their way through Scotland’s planning system.
    'Should all 17 be granted, they could draw between 4450 MW and 4950 MW, more than Scotland’s entire winter peak electricity demand.'

  19. @urlyman as I wrote in the Lizard Brain essay:

    "Mark #Zuckerberg claims that he is planning, in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence, to build a data centre the size of Manhattan which will consume 'gigawatts' of electricity. A gigawatt is a billion watts. A human brain burns 20 watts. So that, unless Zuckerberg's #AGI can out-think fifty million people working together on the same task, that's inefficient use of energy."
