Wow. The gloves are truly off.

@MeneerDeBruin Too bad our representatives are doing the exact opposite one.

@jaztrophysicist PR strategy: let's say the quiet part out loud because (checks notes) late stage capitalism brah

@jaztrophysicist The AI bubble will be gone in a year, the climate.. less so. So the choice is very clear.
The EU commission is going to focus on AI, when the whole population would prefer them to focus on the environment.

@jaztrophysicist
Gas plants are a US electricity network problem.

Where electricity connection is missing, gas pipelines also are lacking. Thus a non-argument in the EU.

@jaztrophysicist that's easy : get rid of the #AIHoax ....

@jaztrophysicist
Funny! I never expected to hear the data centre lobby say something I've been saying about data centres...

But yes, the EU must choose. I do hope they will choose wisely!

(if their other choices, eg pro-poisoning ourselves with pesticides, are anything to go by they will, alas, choose... poorly.)

@Christo_459 more climate crisis will kill more than only Europeans, starting in poor countries ... @jaztrophysicist

@vampirdaddy You missed, what German minister "Gas Kathy" aka Katherina Reiche plans?

[disco3000@climatejustice.social]

@jaztrophysicist then climate change please. Nobody wants the enshitification of everything with AI slop

[jaztrophysicist@social.sciences.re]

@disco3000 it's not really a "choice" they are proposing of course they are lobbyists.

[orange_lux@eldritch.cafe]

@jaztrophysicist I'd rephrase your summary by saying "Europe must choose AI over climate goals, data center lobby says", because I naively thought the conclusion would be the other one, and BOY WAS I WRONG.

[jaztrophysicist@social.sciences.re]

@orange_lux ( it's not my summary, it's politico's one)

[orange_lux@eldritch.cafe]

@jaztrophysicist oh yes, you're right. But still.

[jaztrophysicist@social.sciences.re]

@vampirdaddy @NatureMC or, more likely taxpayer citizens will foot the bill (financial and ecological)

[nichni@mastodonapp.uk]

@jaztrophysicist No brainer, isn't it?

[jaztrophysicist@social.sciences.re]

@nichni for us. Not for the lobbied EU commission and parliement unfortunately.

@flomaraninchi @jaztrophysicist and crappy summaries at that!

[adarr_volte@mamot.fr]

@flomaraninchi J'ai un client qui était en stress de ne pas avoir lancer l'enregistrement de la dernière réunion. Alors que le compte rendu c'était le pauvre diagramme de flux que j'ai créé en live pendant la réunion.
"Non mais Jean-Michel AMOA veut absolument les CR par IA"
