Falling over themselves to look “moderate”. Can’t they just say we need to ban the prompt?

Table showing data centre power consumption in Ireland. In 2023 this represented 21% of total grid usage

Table showing data centre power consumption in Ireland. In 2023 this represented 21% of total grid usage

Are they being demonised or are people pointing out our grid can’t support the pace of building them? Or the lack of strategy needed to support them going forward? Their gas powered generators could be called on by the grid for example, excess heat for homes, huge roof space for PV arrays etc.

The parade of useless tech-in-search-of-a-problem and rampant VC yes-man-ing has basically driven the Western tech industry into the ground. It's so embarrassing. I can't allow myself to think about where that funding could have gone or else I'd lose my mind

This title if the comic is ‘Googling Stuff…’
The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want”

On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need:

AI TAKING A WILD STAB AT IT WITH SOME
BLATANT MISINFORMATION

I think it was a public way of saying to government, you are underfunding us. We can’t carry this. Plus hard to argue internally that TCD should absorb the debt when areas are desperate for money to replace/upgrade equipment and staff (non-academic) promotions were stooped.

It’s always the risk of being being the small party in coalition. Disproportionately punished for whole of government decisions.
