'The artificial intelligence boom means the Environment Agency has no idea how much water England will be short of in future decades, as datacentres do not have to report how much they are using to cool their servers.' Maybe the policy of 'turbocharging' AI everywhere & all the time needs thought?

These people just live in some other headspace that I can't even fathom. The notion that I need to track my actions to understand myself is mind boggling. That I might want so share all this data with a tech corporation is impossible to conceive.
