AI data centres run on the same power and water you need for your home. At @gsdsglasgow.bsky.social we wanted to know how significant these demands are, because of the risks to the environment, and to utility bills. But based on open data alone, there's only so much we can know.

From one conference (thanks @royalstatsoc.bsky.social!) to another, I'll be presenting at EPOP today in the session on polling at 11:30. Come by if you want to find out whether I can beat the commercial pollsters with a laptop and a map of all the pubs!

🎉Big congrats to James Ackland for passing his viva! His research uses data-driven modelling to explore how political ideologies simplify complex issues into one-dimensional choices. We're excited to welcome his sharp, systems-level thinking to the team! 💡🧠
