No cev, the government has NOT announced anything yet you nonce. That is my point, jeez and you have the nerve to pretend you are intelligent?

Whatever people, pin that tail on your donkey.

Do with that info what you like.

No skin off my nose, but won't we all look silly when the news does come out?

Where should I begin?

Speaking to a chap at my gym in the early hours this morning (I do not live in the UK, nor does he, obviously) with whom I am quite friendly with over the past two years.

He happens to work for GE, developing countries logistics, and we happen to be speaking about the roll out of massive data centres for AI, specifically in the US where GE have been task to build 2-6 of these things, just to collect data. He is of the same opinion as I, AI merely collates data and regurgitates it, provides no useful info that we as human cannot do.

Anyway, then I mentioned the power required to start and operate these things, and mentioned that the UK have also expressed an interest in data centres. I said you would need SMR's, to which he replied:

"Oh yes, we (GE) have already signed a contract to supply and build three for the UK government, it's been 'inked'"!!!

Also another three for the Canadian government.

Well, isn't that nice! We are all looking at Westinghouse, RR, meanwhile the government already did a deal.

Now, I did not want to push him on which UK government, this one or the previous as that may leave him exposed.

I always knew the UK government would screw it's own over for a foreign power, but this really takes the biscuit.

One could argue that the UK should only use RR as a matter of 'national security', the same way the US does, all the time.

@bav1975, you are not alone. This is a Europe-wide issue. If they cannot get EV charging infrastructure right, how in the world will they cope with the huge draw for AI?

The EU has firmed up it's mandate that there will be no new ICE cars sold after 2035, but let's see how that works out for them.

I personally would welcome no power for AI, or EV's, let the place turn dark for a few years, then reset.

PEAKDREAD... 100% accurate.

Verbal diarrhoea mixed with tourettes

As its sunday; i sugest anywon posting twoday, do so with as many grammar and speling misstakes as possibel just to andoi cev, give it try. I'm shore most wood be abel to read and comrehend wot is been written...

Cry harder, I'll be sure to feel sorry for you at some point in the next 100 years, I promise.

And yes, still a distraction, but you can look if you want.

The NHS is not under stress, it's underfunded. Caused by the previous corrupt government and probably continue with the present one.

And IT is a distraction, to stave off complaints about the lack of service provided by the NHS they can blame a 'new' respitory virus. Woefully underfunded and mismanaged, people are literally dying on stretchers in the corridors.

Just a distraction, to hide something else. Seen this happen all the time and so have most of you, only sometimes you actually recognise it straight away.

"Squirrel!!!"...

When it wipes out 2% of the global population... Then I will worry. Funny how none of the 'elite' in WEF get it...

@ACIM, they do have people telling them that, they just ignore them.

SprintRS, that metric is only valid if you bought a year ago, or higher if you bought two years ago, or crap if you bought 2 weeks ago.

Saying a stock is up 90% is meaningless without context of purchase date

Yeah, nope. 23% up from this point?

Defo iffy!

Yep, people underestimate the future world where AI will control what happens.

I guess all these tech guys and lab scientists never saw the ending of any sci-fi movie? They watch half way through, think; "ooh, that looks like a good idea" and run off to make it. WATCH until the end!!!!

It never ends well.

A single incident does not do that to the sp, it is something else.

I mean, realistically speaking, institutions have no morals so could care less about minor incidents, data shows that.

Seems like the markets are not pleased about another 4 years of the Orangeturd in the White House, he actually belongs in the big house.

Not a good start to the week already...

@mystic,

Why should he be ashamed?

If he said that about Xi Ping, Putin or Khomeini would that be ok with you? I feel you would say nothing.

@Bigbadbobo228, how dare you!

By that you are implying that he has a brain that fits his head. An inch would only puncture the vacuum/void.

Trumps an idiot, really, a class A idiot.

Tariffs on a global scale, as he wants to establish, is like throwing a rock into a pile of dog shyte and hoping you don't get splash back.

Truly an idiot, oh, and a colossal conman!
