In addition, we must work to create a European Big Tech industry.
yes, but also facepalm this is still missing the point
Big Tech industry
^ taps the sign above my head
THAT is the problem, yes the US version is one of the more aggressive cancers but recognize that the US is a product of the US mindset that worships big tech.
People are running out of water for their families because a category of techbro running my country consider the power hungry datacenters powering this AI “techboom” more important than human lives.
In a much more regulated environment you would have recycled water instead of destroying families water supplies.
A lot of these critiques are of unregulated capitalism as opposed to the entity of big tech itself. Now can you have big tech without unregulated capitalism maybe not, there’s a reason it’s as broken of a system as it is.
Wow! What?! No one involved, not the people building the data centres, the planning commissions, the approvals, the local and federal governments, it seems everyone involved completely forgot that except you, a guy who reads the guardian.
here’s your imaginary trophy, smartest guy in the thread🏆

who has run out of water due to a data centre?
secondly that sounds like a local government issue
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/09/big-tech-datacentres-water
Nothing about this problem is local.
So what, we in the middle east should go fuck ourselves and always depend on others or something?
what about it?
this has to be stupid tech story of the year
wow they’re building a data centre in the uae call the police
You’re just some joker who wants to watch the world literally and figuratively burn, fuck off
if the data centres are powered by renewables then there is no impact, go fuck yourself
They still need to be cooled you dumbfuck.
And there’s the issue: you CAN cool them with renewables, but it’s cheaper to just use insane amounts of water.
I did not realize you could cool data centers with renewables. Is it done cooling water down a recycling it?

Do you mean a bunch of easily bribed people?
Giant fucking if, and what about anybody anywhere says that they’re going to make the investment for renewables, they’re lying
