    Also, water. We’ll take all of that please, just pipe it right over to our spot in the desert. We’ll need some more money with that, of course.

      Everyone complains about water consumption, energy use, and pollution of the ai yet fail to compare the use to its human counterparts

        Here ya go: in US someone has the audacity to ask people to use less water so that AI can function. Yet the whole city has been growing in population just fine for quite some time. A mystery, right?

          I never said that. Reread my comment. I want people to say “hey we should use less resources” and a good way to do that is not endlessly replicate ego spawn like a mindless virus.

        Turning off AI data centers will instantly save water and energy and reduce pollution.

        But the “human counterparts” will still eat and shower if you fire them.

        So unless you are planning to murder all the unemployed people, your argument makes no sense at all.

          Listen to yourself, Thinking I’d start the reduction with unemployed people as if there isn’t another class of people who do less for society. Try to think outside of the boomer education you received and those indoctrination Sundays

        If you want me to list the myriad ways that I want humanity to use less water, I can. This just happens to be top of the list because it has no fucking value at all and is expected to use even more than the others.

        I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say here, other than you use chatgpt and want to stan for it. Ask it to compare the water use to human counterparts, whatever you mean by that. Or really, don’t because the water that would waste is certainly not worth it.
