Ireland’s datacentres overtake electricity use of all urban homes combined | The Guardian
(www.theguardian.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Can we just cancel the whole "ai" thing? It was fun for a bit, now it's just problems.
This isn't AI, but datacenters in general. EU stuff tends to accumulate in Ireland.
Of course it's not only ai, but the article's subhead: "Statistics raise concerns that rise in demand for data processing driven by AI could derail climate targets"
More AI you say? Can do!
The AI meme will crash eventually. When? Can't say. But eventually they'll move on to the next meme.
I'm sure they'll find something even more problematic to dump money into sooner or later.
