Finally finished this amazing book by @triofrancos.bsky.social. An absolute must read for anyone who cares about “green” exctractivism and how we might possibly overcome it through global solidarity – and of course relentless trans-local organising!

New data by CBS, the Dutch statistics agency, suggest that data centres consumed 4,6 % of the Netherlands’ electricity in 2024. In 2017, data centre consumption amounted to just 1,5 % of all electricity supplied. www.cbs.nl/en-gb/news/2...

Graph showing an increase in the percentage of Dutch electricity supplied to Dutch data centres. The upward sloping line starts in 2017 (1,48%) and goes to 2024 (4,58%). At the bottom, there is an asterisk indicating that the 2024 figures are provisional.

Institutional websites now have to come with a generative AI hallucination warning. Seen while browsing through the website of a large art museum in Denmark

Screenshot of a mobile webpage, with one section highlighted by myself with a red circle. The section reads: "Be aware of Al errors: Unfortunately, we are experiencing that Al-generated searches provide incorrect information about discount deals on admission and other services at
Louisiana. Only the deals below apply.
Please ask at the entrance or before your visit if you are in doubt."

This is the dry and fire-scarred landscape we encountered when visiting the site of the planned Meta data centre on the outskirts of Talavera de la Reina, a project “offshored” to this dry region from its originally planned location on Dutch land reclaimed from the sea

A well informed peer informed me yesterday that it seems highly likely that Microsoft's growing cluster of hyperscale data centres in North Holland are used as the main backbone for Microsoft/OpenAI's generative AI computing needs for the whole of Western Europe.

Maybe, it’s time to give this platform another chance! Céu Azul certainly sounds poetic
