Wow! What?! No one involved, not the people building the data centres, the planning commissions, the approvals, the local and federal governments, it seems everyone involved completely forgot that except you, a guy who reads the guardian.
here’s your imaginary trophy, smartest guy in the thread🏆
there can be some visible effects from being addicted to video games
I was going to say YEAH! but then remembered I was addicted to World of Warcraft from 2006 to 2017 and then relapsed started playing again in 2019 after WoW classic came out and every now and then something wriggles in my brain to say you should sign up again, it’ll be fun
if the data centres are powered by renewables then there is no impact, go fuck yourself
what about it?
this has to be stupid tech story of the year
wow they’re building a data centre in the uae call the police
We don’t want to make Wikipedia-style appeals
do it
who has run out of water due to a data centre?
secondly that sounds like a local government issue
For a start feel free to list all the OpenSource AI companies and models made in Europe :D
And then tell me which ones are competitive and not junk
For those of you at home this idea of OpenSource and Europe can win is pure copium, Europe is not even on the map in terms of AI power (America and China are far more ahead), Frances Mistral is the only one close and they are way off the top spots.
A quick look at the rankings https://lifearchitect.ai/models-table/
But you can simply compare the models on any AI comparison website
All that will happen is China and the USA will break through barriers and then Europe will inevitably use them instead of Europes own models because they won’t do what we want
So it’s absolutely critical that European AI is given as small a leash as possible and more funding to compete.
Hey champ, tell me, what do you know about OpenSource AI?
no ty
Really not looking for Europe to be behind in AI, they’ll be dependent on the USA/China and others who power ahead
this is tough for me, on the one hand it’s pretty mild, on the other hand it continues the trend of everyone i don’t like is a nazi which reduces the impact of the actual nazis

Pretty amazing they found her considering how remote it is
Why are you using grok4?

“Everything is uncool and trying is uncool,” she said.
Yeah this
Assertion misses the point: Most Australians whose homes need to be made more energy efficient, are renting
I think the 66% still out number the 30% when it comes to needing to be made more energy efficient, most people even who own their own homes don’t have solar batteries, induction cooktops, heat pump hot water etc
As of recent data, approximately 66% of Australian households own their homes, either outright or with a mortgage
The rental market has seen an increase, with about 30.6% of households living in rental properties as of the latest census data2
i liked pokemon, my brother liked biker mice from mars, good show
Hell yeah!
What do you mean? You’re still using AI you’re just letting the Americans and Chinese run it for you
This is what I was saying earlier about the green European false economy, Europe prides itself on being so green, but 90% of its digital tech is outsourced to other countries, it would not surprise me if 99% of Europeans were talking on a smartphone made in China, a computer made in China, AI and operating systems made in the US, all the while trying to stifle and regulate to death their own companies
You want them to build the equipment in the EU so at least you have a better chance of powering it with renewables
