Kenya has reportedly raised concerns over Microsoft’s planned $1 billion AI data center, warning that the project could consume a massive chunk of the country’s electricity supply.

    If microslop has 1 billion to build a datacenter in Kenya, they can take a fraction of a percent of that budget and slap enough solar panels on it to generate all the electricity they would ever need. It’s fucking Kenya.

      Literally the thing I cannot understand. They could just do their own electricity and even share back.

    I don’t think they realise that Microslop doesn’t give a shit, they would kill the whole country if they could steal a few million out of it so if you think they give a fuck about your electricity bill increasing or if you don’t have power in your home think again.

    Man, if they really wanted to produce some worldwide goodwill, they would build their own production for power and water and make sure there was an excess. Outside of the obvious environmental concerns, the extra jobs, power, and water would be just a huge net benefit for everyone involved. It is such an easy win for public goodwill, but you know, they won’t because it costs more.
