The AI Gigafactories call is now open.

[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.

[xeno@hexokina.se]

@HennaVirkkunen@ec.social-network.europa.eu NOOOOOOOO

[raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest]

@HennaVirkkunen@ec.social-network.europa.eu
This is EXACTLY what people DON'T want.
How can you be so out of touch?
People vastly hate AI.
Where an AI datacenter is made, water is wasted, electricity prices go up.
Not to mention the awful possibility of forests being cut down for it.

[yetzt@social.yetzt.me]

@HennaVirkkunen AI-datakeskukset ovat helvetinmoinen syöpä: ne ahmivat sähköä ja vettä ilman, että tuottavat yhteiskunnalle juuri mitään oikeaa arvoa. Samalla ne jauhavat alleen taidetta, kulttuuria ja ihmisten luovuutta, kun kaikki pitää korvata halvalla, sieluttomalla tekoälysisällöllä. Koko touhu on vitun kestämätöntä, eikä sitä pitäisi juhlia edistyksenä vaan pitää varoittavana esimerkkinä siitä, mihin ahneus voi johtaa.

[anderslund@expressional.social]

@HennaVirkkunen So you have no mercy what so ever for upcoming generations? Did you notice the recent natural fires in southern Europe? Have you heard of something called #Climate Crisis"? Common sense?

PS: it is world overshoot day today. We have no earthly renewable resources left to use this year.

[jelu@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen feeding the debt monster while destroying the environment, the corruption is staggering...

[eliasp@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen I can't think of a single good reason why we should do this, while dozens why we _shouldn't_ come to my mind immediately!
