The speed at which a virus spreads depends mainly on two factors:

1: How dense the population is.

2: How dense the population is.

Es gab keinen Signal-Hack.

Was wir hier sehen sind komplett naive Politiker, die sich einen Schei* um IT-Sicherheit kümmern und in jedem Phishingtest der IT-Compliance jedes Unternehmens durchfallen würden.

Das Problem sitzt vor dem Endgerät.

So, it now seems that McKinsey & Cambridge Econometrics analysis of the likely environmental impact of the build-out of AI-related data centres in the UK was off by around ten times; that is, new (independent) projections suggest (and now adopted by the Govt.) that the environmental impact (via carbon emissions) is likely to be TEN times what the consultancies predicted.

(water usage predictions have also been raised)

Funny that...I wonder who else McKinsey work for???

China pivoted hard to renewables. They now have MASSIVE surpluses of cheap electricity.

Cheap energy means cheap compute. Cheap compute means cheaper models. And cheaper models means Chinese open source wins more categories over time.

We still think this is a software war. It's actually an energy war. China is decades ahead.

This is a Bdelloid Rotifer, an aquatic microorganism with a chainsaw-like mouth.

AI will increasingly have a PR problem as the average person sees it as

1. ChatGPT, a slightly better Google.
2. That tech my boss is forcing me to use that barely works.
3. The rationale for layoffs and higher electricity bills according to the news.

The (1) positive does not outweigh the negatives and the anti-datacenter movement is just the beginning if the tech industry doesn’t get a hold of its messaging and mitigate its actions.

Interessant.
