      Well I suppose it’s comforting that a lack of infrastructure spending led to one good thing

    2. AI needs a huge amount of power and the UK just happens to have the highest energy prices in the world.

      Why would you build an AI facility in the UK when in the US their energy prices are 1/4 of ours?

      Also NIMBYISM. They are trying to build Europe’s largest data centres in my borough on a neglected bit of land. They would invest £5bn, create 6,000 jobs and generate £13m per year revenue for the council and all the old folk are still out with their pitchforks ready to stand in front of the bulldozers trying to put a stop to it.

      We’re not going to attract new industries like this to invest in the UK until we get our house in order.

    3. „UK in desperate need of AI infrastructure“ says man who whose job it is to sell AI infrastructure 

    4. AI is energy intensive. The UK’s AI efforts are held back by expensive energy (something Starmer and Miliband don’t seem to grasp).

      Anyone actually know what AI would achieve in this Country? It just seems like loads of people parroting each other with no idea what they are talking about.

    6. Why don’t you invest your money in the so-called „friend shoring“ of AI industry?

      That is, investing in the allies‘ AI cloud data centres in exchange for the use of some of those resources(of course the „PRESENT“ US could be excluded from the target lol).

      If you should hesitate to invest in EU area, then how about Japan(and Korea)?

      Please wash your jam jars and stop going on holiday, because we’re killing the planet 

      Anyway, more power stations to prop up the latest tech fad, anyone?

    8. Short of a rapidly built mega project on which a company is permitted to build its own power station, we ain’t gonna compete in the AI race.

      Considering the UK seems incapable of building anything in a rush, if anything like that ever gets planned and approved after a few years, 30 revisions to appease the white breasted sparrow hawk nest that’s in a tree 17km from the site and millions of pounds spent, the whole thing will be outdated.

    9. Good, boycott AI as much as possible. This is a tool that SHOULD be used to take over menial repetitive tasks but companies are using to push out artists and creative jobs.

      Ridiculous. I’ll never buy anything of a company that uses AI to advertise or replace humans

    10. we’re losing the AI race to China and the US. These powerful countries beat us by every metric, Starmer makes us look so incompetent, he should resign and call an election.

      Country with the highest energy costs of any developed nation has no chance of being in the AI movement. Imagine my surprise.

    12. LookOverall on

      AI is a bit like Aluminium manufacturing. The logical place to build the hardware is somewhere with a huge surplus of clean energy and a government sane enough to be trusted with data protection.

      From the POV of programming and use anywhere in the world will do.

      I think Iceland would do nicely.

      We don’t just have huge energy prices but we’re too subject to American influence.

      Not an infrastructure problem. Its an energy choice problem.

      we’ve already quadruple infrastructure in the last 20 years.

      It just turns out you need to quardruple the infrastrcture we already quadrupled to compete in AI.

      That just means higher bills as well. The green energy projects has been a disaster, its a never ending spaghetti network of ‚infrastructure‘, intermittent energy that all needs fosil fuels support to make sure we don’t get blackouts.

      Bring on nuclear energy now.

    14. North_Relief_7149 on

      I’ve only been bleating about it for years. Fuckers in government for the last 30 years were either braindead or malicious.

      It’s not difficult to understand that very expensive energy will cripple the nation. So why let it happen?

      The new gov isn’t building enough either. It will get worse.

    15. Mediocre-Subject4867 on

      This is a tesla all over again, one company traveling to every country for those delicious subsidies for a product that isnt actually worth much. FOMO,FOMO, give me money, FOMO

    16. Important_March1933 on

      Good, hopefully the lack of infrastructure will limit the use of AI.

    17. YesAmAThrowaway on

      You mean air polluting and water stealing data centrea that do nothing for the locations they are placed in? Good, keep those away.

    18. Yes, the UK is going to build power stations for The Most Useless Technology In The World™

      Nebulous advantages you say?

    19. Gulags_Never_Existed on

      We can only hope that many a stakeholder will be consulted to figure out why building things in a country where building things is illegal is so difficult.
