The AI Gigafactories call is now open.

[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!!!

@HennaVirkkunen booooooo

[tenkoman@sueden.social]

@HennaVirkkunen Which social-practical usage do AI gigafactories have - do they lower the cost of living for EU citizens? Nope, they do the complete opposite by being energy hungry blackholes bumping up energy and water prices.

Do they create jobs? Nope, they destroy more jobs and create an issue a future generation will suffer. Since CEOs replace entry level jobs with AI, there will be no senior workers when Gen X leaves the job market

Do they create profit? Only for shell firms and tax fraud

[stx@mastodon.scot]

@HennaVirkkunen Booooooooooo!

[csstrowbridge@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen

Fun Fact: AI Gigafactories easily burn down.

So do AI bros.

[oliviavespera@spacey.space]

@HennaVirkkunen I'm very worried about this.

[enea90@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen And that is meant to benefit whom? Those at the top? Or regular Europeans? The folks at the European Commission need to get their act together on this one, least they want to be out of job. As a reminder: by the people, and for the people.

@HennaVirkkunen this sucks

[fenixmaster@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen Europe is running fast in the wrong direction with a lot of rulings and decisions.

#agecontrol #ai

[holsta@mastodon.art]

@HennaVirkkunen No, don't. You'll undermine workers and our climate.

[mxfraud@tabletop.social]

@HennaVirkkunen we don't want to be an AI continent, we want to be a human continent

[gfxplumber@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@HennaVirkkunen Ah cool, we have given up on fighting the climate crisis as well. Shame.

[furrfu@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen You are a disgrace and should be ashamed of yourself.

[kats@chaosfem.tw]

@HennaVirkkunen Would this "technical sovereignty" have anything to do with mass surveillance, by chance?

[wcbdata@vis.social]

@HennaVirkkunen What a terrible idea!

[quincy@chaos.social]

@HennaVirkkunen

Your realize that the slogan "becoming an AI Continent" is not just beyond stupid as a catchphrase (as forests are burning), but also an in-your-face insult to any actually intelligent citizen?

[schrotthaufen@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen Or we could invest that money into renewable energy, and ways to deal with the droughts that plague Europe, instead of building things that will accelerate our problems.
