No. Next fucking question. I'd rather data centers have brown-outs than schools.

Don’t need school if you have chat gpt /s
An interesting one there, how can schools consumption be compared to that of Data centers
Maybe they just want people to waste time pointing spiderman fingers at eachother for not turning off their computers.
Are they keeping profits from data centres away from schools?
Educating the kids would be a waste of taxpayer dollars. The only training they need is how to mow the grass around the data centres.
I actually saw a robotic mower doing that job just a few months ago.
Well then we just let them starve and blame them for being homeless.
Well.. duh. Data center makes dollar, schools costs dollar
Killdozer needs to come back...
Improve the cooling system first. We are talking about Marvin, right?
If you Google the model number their AI will sometimes list the 20 tons of armor as an option like you could just order it that way.
Please sir...can I have some more....electricity
said the poor school to the billionaires
How does closing the blinds conserve electricity? O_o
Less AC needed.
Oh that's right, y'all got AC back there. I forgor.
I know Europe is scant on AC in general, but you guys really don't even use it in schools? That seems wild to me.
In southern Europe, yes. In northern Europe, generally no need for AC.
No AC in schools. School is out in the summer in general.
We prefer to stick our fingers in our ears, pretend climate change isn't getting worse and torture our kids and teachers instead. At least after the recent heatwave some conversations are starting to happen.
May June and September don't have the capability to have hot days in Europe? In 2010 only the newer part of my highschool had AC, but now I believe the whole building does.
Most buildings don't have them. Why would schools be any different? Our secondary school was culturally protected so even if they wanted to install one they probably could not. And the only time heat was an issue was during covid when we got assigned the attic classroom. All the other rooms were alright.
California: 80% of water use is agricultural and industrial but who do they lean on in drought years? Jimmy fucking John and minute showers. Corporations will not budge without force so state goes after the soft target.
Same play here.

So it's official now. AI comes before schools, and before children. Welp. So much for thinking about the children.
Here comes Abbot's elementary comedy series, where they build a big stadium, but they can't afford to fix the lights in the school.
Why spend all that money and resources cultivating actual intelligence?
Because actual intelligence doesn't vote conservative.

We all see this coming, but the billionaires and our state/county/city leaders assure us everything will be fair and fine.
Same deal with water. It will be 100 degrees and data centers will be draining local water supplies, while residents will be told not to water their flowers or take too many showers.
Fuck all this.
It will be 100 degrees and data centers will be draining local water supplies, while residents will be told not to water their flowers or take too many showers.
Wasn't this already the case like 2 years ago in Texas? Except I remember the governor telling people to drink less water and shower together when possible to save water for the data centers.
I'll be so sad when the CEOs get Luigi'd.
