      ALL AI investment is a scam governments are falling for.

      I mean AI as a whole industry is a scam but if we get money and jobs out of it who cares. Milk the venture capitalists for what we can.

      Governments don’t seem to get the difference between a business owning and training a foundation model, and some grift set up with ChatGPT API under the hood.

      If this AI investment boom turns out to be money making scam, if ow when it bursts, it could have a major negative impact upon the U.K. and global (as it’s a global trend) economy.

      Someone needs to tell my local council, they want to turn a park and ride used by hundreds of hospital staff and patients into a datacentre, nevermind that the site flooded during the 2020 floods.

      Yeah, we know… Shame the Human Rights Lawyers in Government haven’t worked out that promises to spend in the UK with promised cash returns on high capital expenditure and high maintenance kit that depreciates the moment it’s built and isn’t hooked up doing anything.

      Oh well, at least we’ll have built massive warehouses with large power grid connections, I’m sure there’s Amazon that might want some expansion for general server space.

      Last time I check Loughton isn’t in East London, it is in Essex.

      AI is just 5 companies pushing money around in a circle. But dont worry, deffo not a bubble …

      The more I see “industry leaders” talking about AI lately the more I become convinced we’re close to the bubble bursting. They’re starting to sound like your old school friend who got in touch via Facebook after 20 years telling you how much essential oils will *change your life*. It all feels like it’s becoming a bit desperate as the promised land isn’t quite materialising.

      I’m buying a small compute server for a scientific lab and the price has doubled in 6 months. It’s crazy. Hopefully we can get some good stuff cheap when the AI centers close down and sell off their hardware?

      Civil service and politicians know less about IT than your nan. Their ignorance is why they are getting scammed.
