Not a typo? Fuck off with that shit.
“steer the sustainable development of the sector in New South Wales.”
Nothing sustainable about it but sure, go ahead and destroy everything for the sake of profits.

gird your loins, as an Aussie who has monthly lived there for 60 years, it has Amway been a shit show.
That’s actually quite reassuring somehow. Oh well, I’ll make the best out of it
Profits? It’s not even financially sustainable.
The 3 sisters in Katoomba is an absolute spectacle of natural beauty. It’s a nice, friendly country town. Not the kind of people that would want or need a data centre.

Been there last year and it’s absolutely stunning. I really hope the whole thing will be stopped somehow…

Why is every other company doing this then? FOMO? I guess building up reliance on AI and then switching to a billing model that actually makes them money, but I can’t see that working out too well considering the public opinion of AI worsening by the second.
There is a lot of “woo datacentres bad” in this article and very little actual substance.
A 4 million dollar data centre is tiny. It’s not gonna have AI in it and draw gigawatts. My work has an off site redundant data centre that’s essentially three shipping containers, and it cost them ten million bucks, and it just keeps a hot copy of the business data synced from a similar-sized data centre down the road.
So this very well could just be space for actual “legitimate” storage and compute for semi local businesses that want a backup far enough away so that when one burns down the other one is ok.
It is a retired hippie stronghold AFAIK so there is no way it goes through. Even if it is a foreign investor, why would they not have known this?
it’s not a marginal so hippies can’t stop shit.
the appropriate donations for access will be made, back room deal will be done, and it’ll get declared a state significant development, cutting council out of it.
Good point but this will be a huge battle nevertheless and educate the complacent public about how these data centres operate.
