@thecanaryuk: Did you know? London's quietly becoming the second AI capital of the world.

feedmycrave :

Data centers in the middle of a drought: revolutionary.

jadedsouls :

the problem is we will still need data centres even with out AI, we need to focus on making sure there is things in place to make sure they are sustainable when they are built.

Kindly Koala | Early Learning :

we need to pause it all, the time for the AI bubble to burst

Fabi :

Right. They banned garden hoses but are building data centres. 🤔

Alex Hyena :

how in tf did they manage to get data centres put in the same category as essential utilities??

Kelly :

The temp in London 38.1 at Kew Gardens today. The Labour government have pushed ahead with granting a data centre in Brick Lane, knowing that data centres raise local temp from 3-9c. When the water infrastructure is on the brink of collapse, and there is a hose pipe ban! How will this help local people?

Maeve_like_wave🍉 :

No. that's done it for me actually. this is my last year in London. I am so angry that they haven't focused on Internet connection in deprived areas up north, but are focused on things accelerating climate change. there is going to be food shortages soon and hopefully some people will realise you can't eat AI.

hoshis_sister :

"we need data centers" regular data centers are so much smaller. those to process ai are sooo much bigger and pollute sooo much more

Dr_Lupus :

wants to turn things around, proceeds to do things everyone hates

Likeanox :

Why don't they build the data centers in Richmond, Wimbledon, Highbury, Blackheath, St John's Wood etc?

Crissie Sinclair - Author :

It would be such a shame if someone planted bamboo in the area, it can be so aggressive

Cherry :

It’s going to pollute the air, pollute water the national grid will toil to deal with the energy it uses , destroy wildlife wth is the government thinking abt don’t they realise this will affect them too🤔🤔

menacingtosobriety :

for every job AI takes we should tax that company more than you would if it was a human. that way it will cost them more to replace us. but we know that won't happen 😕 😅

Danica Priest :

This is why we tried to warn people about the planning and infrastructure act 😭

Alarchwen :

In Cardiff too, the councillors are ignoring the protesters.

Marwin :

Bamboo trees seem to be popular these days.

Rolling Petetato :

well NY has Mandani, we don't have Zack in charge 🥲

☁🌧𝑆𝑘𝑦🌧☁ :

I'm starting to think greens the only party that'll help

chubbycheekspaws :

Since the pandemic everything has turned into making humans lives more difficult. Since I’ve heard about Uber’s go ahead with robotaxis, it looks like our roads, energy, resources and lives have been handed in a gold plate to billionaires.

nahren 🧿 :

SOUTHALL??

Tom :

They want to turn London into San Francisco so badly 😑

aali1511786 :

Make it ILLEGAL for AI to be used to replace jobs, only to automate certain aspects for efficiency AT MOST

Riemann :

Work keeps us busy and distracted. We need to move strategically. Our 10-15 minute's regular activity per day, could make significant difference. Let's reunite.

Urgh 🤦
