    Can we just cancel the whole “ai” thing? It was fun for a bit, now it’s just problems.

      This isn’t AI, but datacenters in general. EU stuff tends to accumulate in Ireland.

      Ireland’s boom in datacentres and tech companies has been fuelled by its policy of low corporate taxation.

        Of course it’s not only ai, but the article’s subhead: “Statistics raise concerns that rise in demand for data processing driven by AI could derail climate targets”

      The AI meme will crash eventually. When? Can’t say. But eventually they’ll move on to the next meme.

        I’m sure they’ll find something even more problematic to dump money into sooner or later.

        I think it’s fair to say AI meme since there definitely is a meme component to it, but at the same time I think it’s worth pointing out it’s also not nearly entirely useless either like Web3.0/Blockchain/etc essentially was. There are a lot of cool and new things that are possible with “AI” that just weren’t possible before, there is some utility to it. It is impressive to me and for context I’m a senior developer, so I don’t necessarily get impressed as super easily as a layperson might.
