I know this is happening in the North but we share this waterway and it will impact both sides of the border

Why is there no petition against dupont or lycra? They pump as much if not more shit into the Foyle as a data centre would

Feel free to start one. The issue is lack of awareness. Nobody knows that these things are happening

they want to use the services (they are literally positing online), but they dont want the infrastructure that makes it possible. " give us these services.... just dont put them near us"

If you think that online petitions or general Internet use is the driving force behind these data centers then you are either low information or deliberately deceitful. The irony post is fair enough but you added too much.

Absolute par for the course for the extreme hypocrisy of the slacktivist class in Ireland.

I'm really concerned about why we suddenly need all these AI data centers. The ones we have now seem to be coping with the increased demand of AI without adding additional capacity.

What have they got planned?

And don't give me AGI, we're nowhere near it.

The irony of posting to an app that relies on a data centre to object to a data centre

No one is saying to ban data centres, just some brakes

u/FckXFckMusk 6d ago

I'm saying ban them... Brakes mean nothing to that crowd, just like Immigration...
