Hopefully his cohost will be more amenable in future to dialoguing about a.i. rather than insisting that there is no debate to be had about the technology's deployment—this seems an unusual position from someone who built their public reputation as an elected representative of the people.
I'm grateful @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social reads my work, and extremely grateful he drew attention to the outrageous proposal for a data centre on Scottish soil: www.planetcritical.com/plans-for-ma...
You know what is a science? All of the academic work warning us about our natural resource depletion, rapidly changing climactic conditions, and geopolitical insecurity, each worsened by much of Silicon Valley's technologies, and certainly the political habits of the tech billionaires.
The only "science" behind the inevitability of a.i. is the slick propagandist narratives which are manufacturing consent for its development at the expense of our communities, job security, natural resources and democracies.
Stewart said the global markets are betting on a.i. On this we agree: the bubble is keeping the global economy afloat as investors pour money into these loss-making companies in the vain hope this energy and materials-intensive technology will one day turn a profit—because betting is not a science.
