The AI Gigafactories call is now open.

[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.
#StopWithTheEffingAI

[regendans@todon.eu]

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

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

@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.

@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.

[mae@is.badat.dev]

@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
