  UK politicians should not be prostrating themselves at the altar of the eminently untrustworthy AI sector. Now they just look stupid...on all sides of the House...

  Nearly half of US data centers planned for this year are expected to be delayed or canceled. Not a capital availability or chip problem. It's transformers and electrical equipment. Lead times have gone from 24 months to five years. The big four are spending $650B+ in 2026 alone […

  Really disappointing to see, but I cannot say I am surprised. There was so much promise with AI growth zones and talk of energy abundance - not to mention the bravery in those wanting to change our outdated copyright rules. Seems like on all those issues we have failed to gain

  OpenAI pulls out of landmark £31bn UK investment package

  Good.  We need to stop these data centres to halt the Tech barons AI rollout.  —  But it forces the question what the government got out of these trade deals?  As with the Pharma deal, an open ended commitment to be bullied by big business?  —  www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

  another big infrastructure project canned by OpenAI ahead of its reported IPO...I need to put together a list of all the cancelled investments!  —  www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

  Ah, the foul aroma of the tech industry trying to blackmail a government.  “We have to take our imaginary toys away because your regulations make us sad.”  —  It's almost as if the deal was BS from the start.  —  www.theguardian.com/technology/ 2...

  I'm old enough to remember when a US investment in the UK AI industry was announced in a flurry of publicity last September, worth £31bn.  —  Except it turned out to be one of those AI hallucinations you now hear about.  —  #AI #OpenAI  —  www.theguardian.com/technology/ 2...

  The Open AI/ Stargate UK story is rather intriguing. It was always rather vague... no way that OpenAI did not know about high UK energy costs when it was originally announced (though this clearly is a material issue) Only two things have changed in recent months. A row back on

  This is exactly why we are building Fuse Energy. You can't be an AI superpower without abundant, affordable power. We are fixing this. [image]

  I still believe, believe more than ever tbh, that compute is a commodity. I am completely unconcerned about OpenAI's imaginary AI data centre ambitions in the UK evaporating into nothing. https://tomforth.co.uk/...

  Another sign the GenAI bubble is due to pop. Scamuel was never going to pay for this.  —  www.theguardian.com/technology/ 2...
