I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

I keep seeing these articles about fried chicken in UK but no one address the elephant in the room.
Where does it come from? What do the chickens eat and how are they reared? And treated? What are the conditions and how much pollution this causes? Cheap crap chicken!

UPDATE: I've had a response from the Cabinet Office!
