Keep reading that line until you get it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 point 23 hours ago (1 child) Wow, that’s rude. Clearly I didn’t say that? Since you know so much, what specifically are the 37 new data centres planned for Vic going to be used for? And why did we need so fewer of them only a year or two ago? Sure there will be varied uses but a huge amount must AI. AI is a tool, it’s not good or evil, and it’s here to stay. Most people understand that too, but at the same time they are observant and right to be asking questions about location, infrastructure, impact to power and water use, and public amenity. Which is why it is a topic of public debate. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Taleya@aussie.zone 1 point 22 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) Rude? I stated the fact that people are conflating datacentres as a whole with llm dcs. you decided to construct a shitty, ranty strawman in response. That's on you. I don't care. It's nothing to do with what i said. Not every DC is an LLM DC. Read that line until it sinks in. permalink fedilink source parent
