Trilhões em datacenters sem estudos que embasem esse valor.
R$ 2.3 bilhões em nuvem do TST por 5 anos daria pra construir 24 datacenters (um pra cada tribunal) de R$ 50 milhões cada, com garantia de 10 anos e ainda sobra R$ 1 bilhão pro custeio (geração de expertise nacional).
O SERPRO que poderia ser parte da nossa "Petrobrás dos Datacenters", virou um atravessador barriga de aluguel da AWS, GCP, Azure, HUawei e Oracle.
Disillusioned & distanced from #Trump, #Musk says he’s exiting Washington & made clear he is frustrated w/obstacles he encountered as he tried to upend the #FederalGovernment🎻
Musk dissed Trump’s signature domestic policy, saying it would add to the #deficit. He complained about a lucrative deal that went to a rival co to build an #AI #DataCenter in the #MiddleEast. And he has yet to make good on a $100M pledge to Trump’s political operation.

"The Tonawanda Seneca Nation is fighting a massive 2.2 million square foot, 500 MW hyperscale data center to be used for AI right next to the Nation as a part of the Western New York Science and Technology Advanced Manufacturing Park (STAMP), a proposed mega-industrial site underwritten by NY state subsidies and facilitated by NY state permits and policy."

So, I've had to deal with neighbors regarding #LightPollution and #NoisePollution (and luckily, was able to get them to understand what #SensoryPollution does to folks, especially those who are #ActuallyAutistic ). Now, imagine what it would be like living next to a source of both light and noise pollution and not be able to do a darn thing about it (other than move). That's what a lot of people (and animals) are having to deal with if they live to close to a #Datacenter!

AI is driving a surge in global energy and water demand, with new research from the United Nations suggesting that both will double in the next four years.

Many Americans are furious about the #energy-guzzling behemoths that drive #ArtificialIntelligence, but politicians in both parties are cautious about backing all-out prohibition.

I'm thrilled to share that my new book #HYPERSCALE is hitting bookstores on October 20. You can preorder it now!
It's an account of how the data center boom is pushing our planet past its breaking point, and of the incredible efforts of people and movements pushing back against the profit-driven interests of Big Tech.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, it's all true!
It's now basically inevitable that we'll have AGI superintelligence by the end of 2024.
And there's a 10% chance this AGI superintelligence, which will basically be LLM software running on physical hardware that fills a massive data centre with the energy and water use of a small European country, will cause humans to go extinct by 2030.
And by extinct, I don't mean as a result of climate change from the fossil fuel air pollution we're using to fuel it. Please don't think about that stuff!
No, I mean by, erm... Things like hacking the power grid and such... Which would also presumably cause it to cease existing... Which wouldn't exactly be superintelligent.
But... y'know... details!
How will we ever stop it?!
I mean, it's not like we live in a world where less intelligent creatures and even inanimate objects kill off more intelligent creatures every day.
It's not like we live in a world where virii and microbes and bricks can kill off more intelligent creatures.
Brains beat brawn every time!
Put a statistician in a fight with an MMA champion and clearly the maths professor is going to win, right?
And if that doesn't sound true when it's phrased like that, then you need to just shush for a moment and pretend that it does.
And if one of our LLMs in a massive hyperscale AI data centre somehow magically became sentient, it's not like we could just shut off the water. Or the electricity. Or stop delivering massive quantities of gas and oil to the onsite gas turbines.
Or just find the nearest Telstra pit and put a bloody shovel through the fibre optic cables that connect it to the outside world.
So we need to immediately figure out ways to stop this happening!
What's that?
You say we could prevent this happening by just not building the massive AI data centres?
You say we could tax the rich so they don't have the money to build massive AI data centres?
No! We absolutely must not do that under any circumstances!
See, our position is really quite straightforward.
We're claiming our product poses an existential risk to humanity that justifies urgent action to mitigate the risk, but also simultaneously we don't want you to think it /genuinely/ poses an existential risk to humanity that /actually/ justifies urgent action that would be guaranteed mitigate the risk, such as not building massive AI data centres, or by not providing access to the ginormous quantities of water and land and energy and capital that our product which is causing this supposed threat depends on.
So why say it?
Mostly, because if we say things like: "We can make a product that could make massive monopolistic short-term profits in a few years, but there's a 10% chance it kills everyone alive, give us money to build it," then the Silicon Valley VCs and Wall Street bankers will throw literal billions our way.
Whereas if we were to say: "We can make a product that solves a genuine problem and we have a sustainable business model for it that will deliver stable long-term returns," then they won't.
Because under American capitalism, "a chance it kills every person" is seen to be a worthwhile risk to take in exchange for short-term profits.
I really hope that clarifies our argument.

A West of Ireland data center objected to by novelist Sally Rooney has just had its planning permission overturned on the grounds that it breaches Irish national climate policy.
The facility, which was granted planning permission last year despite pushback from local residents, was set to be built in Killala, Co Mayo by Mayo Data Hub Ltd, part of US firm Avaio Digital.
