Data centres, imperialism and the AI bubble (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The AI boom is a capitalist frenzy but there's a growing likelihood that the bubble will burst, hitting the world economy, argues David Glanz. Meanwhile, giant data centres are being built across our suburbs and beyond. They are an environmental disaster in the making, using huge amounts of electricity and water and driving a boom in gas-fired power stations. Read more about AI. Find out more about Solidarity. This talk was given at a Solidarity meeting in Naarm/Melbourne on 20 August 2026.
