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"
