The AI Gigafactories call is now open.

[jernej__s@infosec.exchange]

@HennaVirkkunen Why?

[birkenator@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen AI is basically the digital version of gasoline… Do NOT do encourage those dependencies.

For automobiles the state happily built roads all over the place, and now we can barely travel sustainably. We can’t get rid of the cars because politicians did not prioritise trains and sustainable alternatives. DO NOT do the same with the AI. Keep the digital economy sustainable, and for god’s sake do not copy the unsustainable US.

@HennaVirkkunen We don't want to become an "AI Continent" we want to become a "Continent where we can drink water, grow food, and be healthy"

[bjoreman@toot.cafe]

@HennaVirkkunen I am hopeful nothing will come out of this except an enormous waste of money. Please aim for a better best case next time, okay? Doing nothing, for example.

@HennaVirkkunen

Who told you, that there is a "need" for Europe to "become an AI continent"? Google? Microsoft? Nvidia? CEO ranks with no clue, what they are talking about? Investors? Lobbyists?

Europe has to become
- CO2 emissions neutral
- more social
- more educated

I recommend you to study diverse papers that are not promoted by interested parties, but written by scientists.

Neutral networks are NOT Turing complete - and as such there is no singularity in view, regardless what Sam 1/

@HennaVirkkunen a call to polluting water and, making climate change even worse. And much more damiging stuff. How moronic can you lot be?

[leffe@social.linux.pizza]

@HennaVirkkunen

No thanks!

[warpinwolf@mastodon.egroc.de]

@HennaVirkkunen

Altman is dreaming of

AI in the workplace may stipulate major social problems regarding workforce

AI INCREASES climate problems.

Get your things done!!!

[allancavanagh@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen absolutely fuck the EU.

[phf@dmv.community]

@HennaVirkkunen It is also just about the dumbest thing you could possibly do. But hey, it's not like Europe is burning or has its rivers running dry. So let's pour some more fossil fuel on top and extract all the remaining water. Why not? Jolly good time.

[edgeofeurope@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen Are you out of your goddamn minds?

[zipkid@gts.solfood.be]

@HennaVirkkunen Just don't destroy our world more with this bullshit!

[disisdeguey@expressional.social]

@HennaVirkkunen What the Hell.
JUST DON'T.

[regendans@todon.eu]

@HennaVirkkunen Yes. Burn the planet faster for profit. This is fine.

[phl@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen Europe doesn't need this in the middle of a climate crisis. Focus on real research, real engineering, real science, real industry.

[astromateusz@fediscience.org]

@HennaVirkkunen I'm openning the call for the AI Gigafactories to fuck right off.

- LLM is a technological deadend,
- LLMs are built in deeply immoral and largely illegal manner with stealing peoples work without their consent,
- It's elitist, closing that stolen knowledge behind subscription that poorer people won't be able to pay,
- Those gigafactories gussle up an ungodly amount of energy that should be used by the people, moving the goalpost of only ecological energy production further away,
- Calling them gigafactories is the biggest lie since they provide only a really small amount of work places for highly trained people.
- What are the chances that those gigafactories will be used in some degree by companies that use technology to support palestinian genocide? I guess high.

[fatalisticcritic@cyberplace.social]

@HennaVirkkunen There are patches of land outside Bordeaux and Madrid you can place those. No? Too soon?

[fuzzix@mastodon.ie]

@HennaVirkkunen I think this is a great idea! Definitely the most effective use of €30b I've ever heard.

Apropos of nothing, I was just hit on the head by a falling coconut.

[ridicol@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen absolutely awful plan.
Huge waste of money.
Benefits only the tech oligarchs that will control everyone else.
Paying for our own destruction!!!
