As a famous comedy TV star in decades gone by was often heard to say: ‘Surprise, surprise, surprise.’ (I did watch Gomer Pyle but I wasn’t a fan, if that makes sense - but I digress)

“Report warns AI data centre boom threatens Australia's energy transition.” Who missed this? It has been the talk everywhere and US-side is now dealing with their own #DataCentre issues.

If it wasn’t enough for the #GenAISlop peddlers to hoover up the internet without so much as a thank you to creators of the content, digitising (mostly) library books (Libraries close and #TechBros give you access to the books — For A Fee) and flooding the digital world with regurgitated and confabulated information. These same #LibertarianTechHeads now want our water and energy to run their insane harware platforms. For what? More #Chatbots? More #CrapCoding. More #FakeImages? More #FascistPropaganda?

'None of this was forecast': Energy demand from AI data centres soars

A new report concludes the AI-fuelled surge of power-hungry data centres across Australia is jeopardising the country's energy transition.

Energy resources - the house built on sand

“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
Matthew 7:24-27

DeepSeek and the Data Center Energy Crisis That Wasn’t

This week, the Chinese startup DeepSeek introduced an energy-efficient, AI-powered chatbot to the market. The new chatbot consumes a fraction of the energy of leading rivals like ChatGPT, upending the case for building gas power plants to feed data centers.

I’m quite sure a lot of people here in the Fediverse would not learn anything new from this #Vox video. But it does provide a good short explainer for other people who are not as aware. If there’s one tiny nitpick I can say, it’s that the video should have mentioned that these data centers consume tons of water too.
