In the Matrix human beings only exist to provide power to AI.

You can take your investments and shove them where the sun don’t shine.

Do the cities not hire engineers to calculate power demand? Like how does this just happen… Seems like incompetence.

Every country wants the ai boom until the power bill shows up

These people are straight psychopaths.
It’s just a ridiculous article. When do journalists do their job. “Hey Data Centre Bro, Denmark makes xGw of power, do you realize they literally have no more power to give?”
“We might go elsewhere”
There is literally no infrastructure for you, what do you want, shut all the power to people’s homes so you can build another data centre?
At this point countries will just have to straight up say you can build another data centre but you need to self power it. Power infrastructure will just have to be part of the capital investment.

well, there is this ‘new’ clear way to not burn stuff, per say…

Finland has a similar problem. Planned datacenter would need 5 new nuclear powerplants or something like that.

At least find a way to restrict AI to doing useful/serious stuff, rather than wasting energy churning out dumb slop videos for social media.

“Around 60 GW of projects are waiting for connections. That far exceeds Denmark’s peak electricity demand of around 7 GW. Data centers account for nearly a quarter (14 GW) of the 60 GW potential new grid connection projects, the spokesperson said.”
That’s… a lot of electricity.
So the planned data centers would require double the current peak energy demand of the entire country?!

Summers have become 30 days longer since 1960s… the AMOC current is dying rendering Europe a new Antarctic.
In other news, let’s make a lot of data centers and use electricity the size of countries so that people can make AI kitten videos and become more stupid albeit in an efficient manner.

In time to come, these data centres are going to be the digital equivalent of abandoned malls.
