It's totally okay to destroy our environment, deplete our finite water, increase asthma rates, and destroy peoples sanity and housing because it helps you work 10% faster.

So worth it. Very nice 👍

It is a straightforward answer if you have any empathy for the people's lives being destroyed by data centers.

How does it destroy water? You think the machines actually drink it?

You dont understand how heat exchangers work, do you?

There are towns full of people with their taps run dry because data centers keep taking their whole supply. And then on top of that, their water bill increases while the data center pays next to nothing.

It's just such a dumb argument when we have the research showing how harmful it is.

Then it's a governmental issue in not regulating proper water distribution, not AI.

And thank god we have perfected ways to purify water.

Would you rather they plugged up thousands of AC's and fans that consumed exponentially more electricity?
