In Sydney town they’ve got it done;
It’s well and truly under way.
Everywhere - there’s another one;
They’re brand new buildings glass and grey.
**
No longer wanting tall towers,
They’re large low and rectangular.
Will save people spending hours
Travelling perpendicular.
**
This time the housing crisis is solved:
Governments are now go getters;
Trouble is I think we’ve been rolled -
Those damn things are data centres…

Real houses for artificial intelligence. Sad where we put our priorities. Good write Dave
Thanks for your endorsement, Soren. You have it precisely.
Just shows where priorities lie... and with taxpayers moneys and private investors avarice entwined, perhaps.🕊️🙏
The power those data centres use is frightening, and you're right, they're rolling them out everywhere.
I don't even think Orwell could have foretold the future we're heading into.
Not be long till every human is data anaylised the way we're heading.
