The billions of AI investements in the UK? Seems to be all smoke and mirrors.

„Building 2 new AI datacenters“ turns out to be „renting rackspace in existing centers and putting nvidia chips in“.

A new datacenter, supposed to be ready this year, is seen below. Plans for building were submitted to authorities only after the Guardian started asking questions.

Liars and cheats.

@icing building anything is ludicrously hard in the UK so it's not surprising a company would use an existing site. By the time they'd finished the bubble would long have burst and the application would be rejected anyway because there's a slight tea spill on a form that only the council touched and they didn't submit it on the sixth Wednesday of the month or February 29, whichever came latest.
