@skynews: Protesters in Amsterdam broke into a Microsoft data centre on the outskirts of the Dutch capital, with around 100 people making it onto the construction site, according to a witness from the Reuters news agency. #SkyNews #Amsterdam #AI

Lightyear :

This data center in Amsterdam is expected to consume almost as much electricity as all households in Amsterdam combined. Despite a national ban on new hyperscale data centers, the developers managed to bypass the restrictions by splitting the project into three separate buildings. Meanwhile, Amsterdam faces a severe housing shortage, new homes are not being built fast enough, and the electricity grid is already overloaded.

Well done we need to stand against this

what data are they storing?

Syed Ascar :

This is the real protest about climate change, well done folks. Keep it up.

Daisy :

It’s wild how we depend on this technology every single second, yet people want to destroy the very thing keeping them connected. People really don't realize that no data centers means no internet, no social media, and no cloud backups. 📱❌ Who’s gonna tell them where this TikTok video is being stored right now? 😂

chester B polkman :

Honestly, with data centers pulling massive power from local grids and hogging water resources, local communities have a right to put their foot down.

Holding back technological and economic progression

Alwmusicanddrama :

Back in 2010 they should've just said, "Right, we have reached our peak in technological advances. It is now illegal to evolve technology any further." So the maximum technology we'd have right now would be 2010 style. What a nicer world 🌎

Dr. Rupesh Gupta :

Serdar Atayev :

These data centres are not being built for AI folks. China has 450 for the whole nation and the US has over 6000 already.
