The AI Gigafactories call is now open.

@HennaVirkkunen Do not do this.

[danielquinn@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen of all the things to burn €30 billion on, you chose an objective economic bubble that hastens global warming... and you're celebrating this?

[laust@ohai.social]

@HennaVirkkunen what is meant by "AI"? Is it any technology under the AI umbrella or is it just spicy autocomplete aka LLMs?

@HennaVirkkunen This is just about the worst idea imaginable. Some would compare it to tulipmania on horse steroids - but at least tulips are real & people like them.

Please come to your senses, quickly.

@HennaVirkkunen

Choose the bushfire area where it burns down.

Well, I say that as someone who is a sysadmin for decades.

Did you check the Space X shares? $1.15, below initial value, a few weeks later. And falling. Free falling.

@HennaVirkkunen This is really not a good idea.

@HennaVirkkunen

I just hope this stupid bubble implodes before there is much built in Europe.

[benjaminlj@virup.social]

@HennaVirkkunen €30 billion? How about using that money to stop the climate collapse in stead of accellerating it?

Edit: okay, it's actually just €10 bilion, but still...

[1lieblingstag@bildung.social]

@HennaVirkkunen You are "pleased to see"...what? There are forest fires all over the continent, serious heat waves and droughts and you are " pleased to see "...what? Wow, I really don't know what to say. ‍️

[m_berberich@chaos.social]

@HennaVirkkunen

You are dumping 30 billions.
AI is a overhyped bubble and will pop.

[qwertzy@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen These AI Gigafactories will be built where there is already enough renewable power supply and ample cooling water, right? ... Right?

[mewsleah@meow.social]

@HennaVirkkunen the fuck is wrong with you people

[engineer@metalhead.club]

@danielquinn @HennaVirkkunen Good thing is that it's European project, so by the time they are ready to start with building, AI bubble will already burst

[sarklor@tabletop.social]

@HennaVirkkunen

[remaster@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen We should be investing in renewable energy and battery storage instead. AI adds little value for humankind, with significant downsides.

[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.
