Kun CSC oli siirtämässä reilu vuosikymmen sitten superkoneitaan Kajaaniin, kritisoitiin proffan kanssa tätä sillä, että hukkalämmölle ei riitä ottajia (toisin kuin Espoossa) ja jos olisikin, korvaa biopolttoaineitta eikä hiilivoimaa. Kun meillä oli aiheeseen liittyvä yhteisprojekti CSC:n kanssa, tästä tuli vähän kitkaa, joka sitten toimitusjohtajan avulla laukaistiin. Hyvä, että käyttöä löytyy.

Sata metriä korkea savupiippu katoaa Kajaanista, koska kaukolämpö saadaan pian datakeskuksista
Höyryvoimalaitos ja sen 100 metriä korkea piippu käyvät tarpeettomiksi, koska Kajaanin kaukolämpö tuotetaan pian hukkalämmöllä ja sähkökattilalla.

This is an extremely amazing museum and I'd highly recommend a visit if you're ever in Berlin.

So I think about one of the central thesis of Joseph Weizenbaum a lot.
It’s essentially an extension of “there’s no technical solutions to social problems”; it posits that computers are widely used to immortalize and amplify social problems while preventing reforms.
And it has gotten much worse since he wrote about this in the 1970s.
Two of the examples he gives are nation/world-wide stock exchanges and automated trading (lead to wealth concentration and gambling), as well as highly complex but wasteful, punishing and unfair welfare systems (instead of e.g. UBI).
