>AI is literally eviscerating water from the worldThe greatest irony is that the people that have the most rabid hatred for a technology developed in collaboration between researchers with STEM PhD's cannot comprehend concepts that a literal child can understand, thanks to educational material like this.
>>108636809The muh environment argument coming from meat eaters never made sense anyway.
so why do the AI shitlords want a pipeline to the great lakes then? Why not wait for the great water cycle? Why do you niggers always spam this nonsense.
>>108636903I'd rather have meat than a chatbot tbqh
>>108636911That's your good right but makes no sense whining about the environmental impact of AI when your burger causes more damage than thousands of queries.
don't care, if you think resource scarcity is an issue then deport every illegal and "refugee" out of every western nation and then we can talk
>>108636809>>108636903if you don't mind evaporating sea water then at least give us some salt to season this bait
Groundwater takes millennia to recharge. It's why the Sahara is now a desert when it used to be green.
>>108637236just like how it takes 6 million years for oil to form
Luddites are retarded, that's nothing new. Data centers are using a very small amount of water compared to other industrial or argicultural uses.
>>108636911You can have meat, and then for an extra 0.2% water usage you can have a chatbot too.
>>108636903yes in the case of humans, no in the case of anything elseI don't think the continued existence of tigers or venus fly traps would tip the scales in either direction
>>108637980Meat is good, the chatbot is worthless.
>>108638418That's fine. You've chosen not to use it for that extra 0.2%. The point is to contextualise that people who focus on water usage are freaking out about 0.2% of a burger.
>>108638438why wouldn't they go with power instead? if you wanna use environmentalism to pluck on heartstrings then use the big dogs.I mean I know why, they bitch and moan and people are still backing AI, so try your luck with the next eco impact on the listit's survived the trial of women and childrens safety so it's probably unbeatable by now, and that's difficult to accept for some
>>108636911you can have both is the point. the resources used mean absolutely nothing on a planetary scale. they just sound horrible because people have no sense of scale outside of their personal usage. so when you tell someone it takes 20,000 gallons of water to raise a cow to butchering age and weight but their only concept of a gallon is milk, they just can't comprehend it.
>>108638480that's what carbon footprint is based on? not the maths, I mean the exploitation of big numbers on little brains
>>108638471Because power is also really minor. AI isn't even the majority electricity consumer in datacenters.
>>108638471Because making it seem like water literally disappears from existence and people cannot have water to drink like it's Africa 2.0 is a better play on emotions.Of course, we ignore the fact that:>all the quoted data on AI water usage comes from a researcher called Karen Hao that admitted her numbers were wrong but still insists it's okay to rely on her faulty research just because it makes AI look bad>the main impact of AI datacenter water usage stems from building the damn thing, before any server racks get implemented, so you might as well cry about ceasing any and all construction>the water cooling loops in AI datacenters feed from the mains, and when they evaporate the water cycle kicks in so the final water balance is equalBecause it's much easier to cause FUD and play on emotions than to actually have a discussion when you want to fight something you don't understand.https://blog.andymasley.com/p/empire-of-ai-is-wildly-misleading
>>108638471They do but it's even worse since AI pushed expansion of renewables.
>>108636809>HURR DURR LUDDITEShill thread, keep on moving fellow havers-of-IQs-greater-than-room-temperature.
>>108637937>HURR LUDDITEOh! Another shill.
>>108636809>STEM PhDsI have one and all I got from it was unemployment the likes of which even 2026 CS grads would be grateful to have
>>108636809The final boss for libtards, spilling oil.
What's the point? Someone who hates AI has already decided, and even though it is literally curing cancer, they still don't like it. Then you have AI jeets who are just fucking insufferable. You're convincing nobody and just hate fucking each other.I use AI daily, and I don't have to care about any of this because it's not my problem.
>>108636809how can you be anti-AI when AI doesn't exist? just curious
>>108640623I bet you're the type of person to say "actually it's GNU/Linux"
>>108640639did you prompt your slopbot to write that joke?
>>108640663No, all my jokes, even the shit ones, come from my brain meat.
>>108636809
>>108640814Can't wait for the ai bubble pops out and all the libtards are on suicide watch.
>>108636809>SAAARRR THE WATER WILL ALWAYS BE COME DOWN WITH NO CONSEQUENCES EVER SAAAAAAAAARdo Indians really believe this?
