Keir Starmer’s Artificial Intelligence Ambitions Criticised Over UK’s High Energy Costs

[@johndean1634]

Elons new data centre uses 150 Megawatts of Power. UK are having a job keeping the Lights On. Enough said on the subject.

[@julianpetkov8320]

Elon will microchip the "Brits" and make them NPCs in live action shooter games.

[@SiuSiuWongify]

Starmer is the one who’s power hungry. What’s worse is Starmer is a incompetent, power hungry traitor.

[@johndean1634]

Maybe AI will tell Starmer that Mass Immigration without the Infrastructure in place. Will Not Work. Population has been increased by 20%. That means for every 100 Hospitals you need to Build 20 New Hospitals. Just to maintain the NHS Levels to Pre Immigration Levels. Building 1,5 Million new houses. You cannot build that amount of new houses without New Schools, Roads, Fire Service, Police, GPs, Dentists and everything else that the Country depend on Every Day to Function. Look at for instance Energy. You increase the population by 20%. Energy usage and needs increases by 20%

[@brundelfly1]

They're not just being criticised. Our energy strategy makes them a complete and utter fantasy.

[@anthonywilson8998]

To say that this govmt do not think things through or join the dots ,the massive cost and lack of electricity is a minus to any industry and for some it will be crucial. Our moronic. Policies will increse costs further and make it more and more expensive. We will need 5 times as much elec when everything is electric,but there are no plans for this level.

For AI to work I am sure that we will need more than two or three Solar Panels and a Wind-mill.

[@cunawarit]

The UK cannot have it both ways. High energy prices and ambitions for a robust tech and manufacturing sector are fundamentally incompatible. If the UK truly aims to position itself as an AI powerhouse, it must first address its energy issues. Competitive energy costs are critical to attracting investment, fostering innovation, and sustaining the infrastructure required for advanced industries. As for the host’s claim of being unable to find someone who can define AI-it speaks volumes, either about the current state of the UK’s understanding of technology or the host’s own inability to conduct basic research. AI is a well-established field within computer science, and clear definitions are readily available. To feign confusion on this matter is either disingenuous or he is alarmingly uninformed.

[@timsnipe8960]

There is only one reason the likes of Starmer could possibly be interested in this subject. Increased power and control of the population.

[@hendongooner7383]

AI is just more Pie in the Sky. We need lower energy costs in order to boos the economy. People spending so much of their income just heating their homes. Businesses spending so much of their revenue powering their offices and factories. No money left to invest or spend. It's a death spiral for the ecoonomy.

[@pdubya4690]

I would not worry too much about AI because within this Parliament Milliband will have peed up against the wall every last cent of his energy budget without so much as a penny drop in electricity prices and leaving the Uk to a decade of power cuts due to his gross mismanagement of resources

[@Van-1954]

I’m no expert but AI doesn’t seem to be the future l like to understand but surely it will put even more people out of work

[@imbonkers3629]

Put a lot of people out of work

[@ruthcollins2841]

Then like the CCP, people will have to carry menial work to receive a portion of food!

That's the whole point

ai will be flawed because it was built by humans

[@AndyB252]

Politicians will be able to replace their SPADS with AI, perhaps not not such a bad idea.

[@dannycarr7611]

Just use more windmills and then you can call them The Windmills of my mind?

[@johndunton6824]

AI so far is not reliable and not robust enough to deploy for any critical application. Also the CO2 generated by AI doing a job is often greater than a human doing the job, so high energy costs, high CO2 generation..... not what the government has been claiming we need to do.

[@imbonkers3629]

AI might be the future but it will crush atleast 2 million jobs 🙄

[@josephnolan8217]

Rules to success stabalized cheap energy prices, clear cheap tax structure, low crime, and reduced extraneous expenses.

[@armstrong698]

Laziness is laziness with or without AI. The idea you need additional intelligent to analyse the data we already have is crazy. It's billy basic.

[@DavidGetling]

You've got to admit TTK has gall. Most snake oil salesmen only try to con a few people at a time, but TTK is trying to con the entire country.

[@ajr1775]

Most important point in this conversation....... you can't talk about AI without also talking about your power grid. If you are paying 4 times what your competitor is paying per electric, then you are going to be paying way more just to try and keep up. This is also a weak point that we can leverage against the PRC since they are so very heavily reliant on imported for energy production. Brits need to remember that PRC is an adversary, NOT a partner. So, act like you know this and stop the short-sighted maneuvering just so the wealthy can make another buck.

Don’t panic that was just London and they’ve already got enough voters there :-)

[@Nellb-u2w]

Starmer isn't interested in the welfare of Britains citizens in the slightest. All he's interested in, is how personally wealthy he can make himself and his cronies before his time is up. BlackRock alone, will reward him very generously for forcing farmers off their land. BlackRock are lined up waiting, rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of buying up the land Starmer has already promised them. He's already had the meeting with them. The deal is already done.

[@TonyHills-c2d]

Power hungry? Just like Starmer then.

[@johndean1634]

AI will make Money. But comes at a cost of Jobs. Unemployment will Increase. What are there suggestions on the Benefits System. Which will need to be Improve to provide Full Living Standards. Musk has already said that AI will increase unemployment and Governments will have to Change from Benefits to a Living Income not Poverty. Otherwise there will be Civil Unrest.

[@julianpetkov8320]

In the very near future there will not be any jobs. The Greek overlords would orchestrate another Toilet Paper Crisis, this time for real.

[@Techno.Frog.]

Keir and his buddy Elon will work together...lol

[@hughmuir3063]

Who makes these government contracts that don't have a clause in them that says if it does not work you don't get paid.

[@skulptor]

AI requires personnel of high calibre and a reliable power and land infrastructure...not uk just now. Labour know nothing.

[@plymouth-uk]

It could be to boost the water companys profits the amount of water data center servers use for cooling is astronomical not like we have been struggling with water shortages in this country for years. Would makes sense to fix the foundations first was this not the lunatics policy. I was amazed he would support AI after the disastrous experience labour had with there attempt at their promotional video last week.

[@dannycarr7611]

You're going to need a small nuclear power station to run it or blanket Britain with Chinese made sun panels

[@julianpetkov8320]

The new thing is batteries. They will store the offpeak electricity directly, so there is no need for an ordinary boiler aka "nuclear power station" to store it inefficiently in the form of heated water.

[@SuomiBrit-q6d]

Data centres can consume between 50 and 200 MW of power, I believe. So, Hinkley Point, when finished, will be able to supply only 16 data centres.

[@SkullBanker-68]

Microsoft have done a deal for Three Mile Island to open one of their reactors ,' enough said.

AI will destroy jobs, it will lead to automation. Dopes, look at the jobs in supermarkets and self service tills. Fgs.

[@JohnCatto]

Every time some new system comes in it is usually a disaster because it is untested and keeps doing things wrong or stops working. Also the people using the new system have to learn to use the system. How many solar panels and windmills will it take to run the AI system ?
