@theslowai: A company wants to build an AI datacentre near Melbourne six times the size of a shopping centre, using more power than the state’s biggest power station. Residents found out from a letter in the mailbox. 3,600+ have signed to stop it. Locals call the west a ‘dumping ground’ for infrastructure the richer suburbs would never accept. This is what the AI boom costs on the ground: your power, your water, your backyard. Ask who pays, and whether anyone asked the people next door.
