@jeremy_pm@mastodon.nz Ripping off our natural resources. Just an energy hungry monster that has less intelligence than a human brain. The whole AI thing is a giant con - just like the Metaverse.

@jeremy_pm@mastodon.nz But, but... as our PM said, “Who cares what the government thinks or does? Our job is to be adult, adult, adult. The business leaders, the political leaders, and the community leaders working together, doing things differently. I set up the operating system. You go out there and smack it and go create the road." I suspect those behind the data centre care very deeply about what the government does/did. And is this an example of "smacking it"? We deserve an answer.

@jeremy_pm@mastodon.nz You'll be lucky if it actually adds ANYTHING in practice. Artificial Incompetence is not profitable, and never will be.

@jeremy_pm@mastodon.nz I’ve been rewatching a bunch of energy ‘transition’ videos by Vaclav Smil recently. This is scary in that context: There is no such thing as the economy, just transfers of energy - (rough quote) Vaclav Smil So we are giving away the only true currency for a handful of coins.
