MODERATORS
I've just put up a post on Aussie Enviro about the SA proposal.
Awesome I’ll go look at that cheers
When they say Australia's ambitions, who exactly are they talking about?
Australia doesnt have enough fresh water for that nonsense
There’s one being built in the South Australian desert as well. The arsehole building it said they’re ’going to leverage existing supply’
So it’s already started and on the Great Artesian Basin as well
We don’t fucking want em here
Don't you mean "AI factories", ABC?
I just know that none of that will matter and those data centres will be built regardless
Because we can't wait for giant techno leeches covering the face of the Earth.
Apparently not, no.
Data centre "Hotspot" is an interesting choice of words
Yep, maybe they didn't see the irony.
The internet is shit here. Don’t bother
Gonna be fucking hilarious when they hit the reality of Australian internet
