Ep.322 - Datacentres & "Dire Wolves"

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Amadou Bagayoko of music duo Amadou & Mariam dies aged 70.
2. Universal chooses Bedford to be location of its first theme park in Europe.
3. UK Parliament is recalled to map out saving British Steel.
4. US judge rules pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported.
5. Rory McIlroy wins The Masters - achieving a career Grand Slam - the 6th golfer to do so.

In Tech: (10:33) The competition inside Big Tech is heating up with the AI race going unregulated, so hot that they need new datacentres to cope with everything. Which means more environmental damage! (Article By Luke Barratt & Costanza Gambarini)

In the first of two Health segments: (29:00) The right-wing mixed with Social Media is a recipe for disaster. Even more so when their new target is young women, using thinness & fat shaming to radicalise them. (Article By Lois Shearing)
In the 2nd Health segment: (40:21) Reforming The NHS is a task that gets harder with every day that goes by. But one neighbourhood has an idea that could fix the NHS. (Article By Nick Triggle)

Lastly, in Science: (56:43) The Dire Wolf is BACK! Well... Not really and the misinformation immediately being embraced like a hypodermic needle is extremely troubling from a social & scientific perspective. (Article By Marina Bolotnikova)
