Twinkle 11 / Data centres
AI data centres: power to tell me to save power.
They've built a giant data centre up the road so AI can tell me to switch the lights off to save power.
A 15–60 second vertical Twinkle, filmed or AI-generated, with the sound of urine tinkling in the background. Start with the gripe, land the joke, then point to the fair-go fix.
Brainstorming scenario
AI data centres: build the missing middle
The missing middle is shared high-performance computing between personal devices and enormous data centres. Think of a library of serious tools: local people could learn, build and run models, then connect to larger systems when useful.
