Should be considered a crime against humanity

Who upvotes this slop?

Somehow I suspect that you don’t need a data center the size of Manhattan for this.

He can’t give up, because that would mean that he has to start giving all of his money to Sandy Hook families, and he will not do that.

So are you also mad at all the other data centers or just the AI ones?

Oh do you mean data centers that actually provide a benefit to the public?

Lol at the replies to this comment. Seems like you hit a nerve.

Can you not see how this is actively making people more stupid?

Except we’re not choosing this, it has already been chosen for us by a handful of billionaires who stand to make more money

Keep telling yourself that

How many of us do research in libraries rather than on the internet these days? Back when internet became popular there were similar criticisms to what we have today on AI.

Not even close to the same. Any (actual) research done online is still using real sources that have just been catalogued online.

The entire point of having students write essays is to demonstrate an understanding of the subject matter. Being able to come up with a good enough prompt to spit out a few paragraphs good enough to fool your teacher defeats the purpose entirely.

So what you’re telling me is that “it would cost more.”

Yes. I know.

would require the system to be purged and cleaned and refilled. Which would use more water.

More grey water. Not potable drinking water.

Sorry, I just don’t believe that corporations with this much money and resources couldn’t figure out a way to cool it without using drinking water. That’s bullshit.

Hahahaha yeah right.

I can’t even tell if this was meant as a joke or not.

We are fucking cooked.

I dunno, maybe because he’s the chief executive of the US federal government?

Infrastructure in this country is already fucked. These old pipes were not built to carry hot water. That’s how you get nasty shit to leech into it.

My question, which seems to have no answer beyond, “it costs money,” is: why the fuck does the water they use need to be potable in the first place? Grey water is a thing. You don’t use treated drinking water for this shit, it’s such an insane waste of resources.

If anything, at the very least, these data centers should be forced to house their own treatment plants to treat the water when they’re done with it so it can re-enter the system.

Pretty much anyone else would be facing prison

Only if the company is publicly traded

Yeah, somehow I doubt this is the reason they’re doing it

I don’t think “explaining things in terms that right wing idiots understand” is propaganda though.

It’s interesting how a person’s take on modern medicine gets completely reorganized when they’re not able to breathe.

This is a defining feature of conservatives. Just look at how Ayn Rand had no issue accepting Medicare and Social Security once she was old enough. They have no actual ideals or values.
