If you’re planning to #water your lawn or plants during the current #hot spell, the govt urges citizens to bit more considerate & spare a thought for the country’s 82 #DataCentres

Plea comes as many selfish #gardeners to squander vital water that could be used to cool precious #data #servers

You can’t make billions without hurting people

Wiping out the world of work, and with it our ability to sustain ourselves and live autonomous lives, is only the beginning, if you listen to #AI’s architects. Elon #Musk has called it the single greatest #threat to #human #civilisation,

• Sam Altman has said it will “most likely lead to the end of the world”
• Dario Amodei, CEO of #Anthropic, memorably forecast that AI would come to see us the way we see animals: cute to have around but ultimately a resource to be exploited.

“AI people claim they’re about to create #God, by teaching words to a #word-guessing programme,” Doctorow says. “It’s grandiose.”
