There is no plan to the growth of generative AI: it's all a furious, mad, frenzied scrabble for energy. Think Bitcoin, not cruise ships. GenAI is always fundamentally constrained by energy. So additional sources of any kind *never* displace fossil fuel use; they just enable more consumption.

@chrischirp.bsky.social has tracked attacks of Trump's government on science and universities. She's now giving a talk that's as insightful as it's worrying: how vulnerable are science and its institutions elsewhere? What lessons must we learn? #ESCLiverpool
