Good morning. This summer, datacentres have become targets of resistance across the world. Ever since the arrival of ChatGPT, big tech has been lobbying(游说) for the creation of enormous new facilities. Many governments claim they’re essential in any country that wants to cash in on AI.(许多政府声称，任何想要利用AI赚钱的国家都必须拥有这些设施。)
早上好。今年夏天，数据中心已成为世界各地抵制的目标。自ChatGPT问世以来，大型科技公司一直在游说兴建庞大的新设施。许多政府声称，任何想要利用AI赚钱的国家都必须拥有这些设施。
Campaigners argue datacentres drain resources and exacerbate(加剧，恶化) the climate crisis. The Scottish National Party has backed a moratorium(暂停，中止) on new developments; so has the Greens. The boom has been immense, and so has the backlash. Today’s newsletter explains why.
活动人士认为，数据中心消耗资源并加剧气候危机。苏格兰民族党已支持暂停新开发项目；绿党也如此。繁荣是巨大的，抵制也是巨大的。今天的通讯将解释原因。
At First Edition, we’re keen on(热衷于) pushing the boundaries(突破界限) of frontier technologies (no luddites here), so today we’re trying something new: we’ve produced a video to accompany this newsletter, and you can watch more on the Guardian’s Instagram page. Let us know what you think by replying to this email. How’s that for innovation?(这算不算创新？) Before you do, here are the headlines.
在《第一版》中，我们热衷于突破前沿技术的边界（这里没有勒德分子），所以今天我们尝试一些新东西：我们制作了一段视频来配合这份通讯，你可以在《卫报》的Instagram页面上观看更多。请通过回复这封邮件告诉我们你的想法。这算不算创新？在你这样做之前，这里是头条新闻。
