Quite telling how every argument for AI data centers is transparent bullshit. It creates no lasting jobs or population movement at all. Literally no reason for any place to allow it unless the community extracts massive perpetual cash payments in return.

I can’t think of a better antidote to the politics in the UK right now than Count Binface beating Nigel Farage in this election… It could genuinely heal a nation.
Eliot Higgins@eliothiggins.bsky.social · 4w agoIn case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.
