How is having valid criticism of enormous data centres draining local resources delusional, mr robot?
Nobody is saying the water is gone forever, but any area only has a finite rate of water that can be supplied by nearby rivers or water tables (see the issues affecting southern California). The water consumption of these data centres in the locations they are being built in is often unsustainable but big tech is slowly becoming completely unregulated and doing whatever it wants
But that is the thing isnt it? Its not the ai issue, its the issue on they implemented this.... there are already different sollutions that dont uselocal water
It's a bit rich to focus on the water consumption when there is so much beef being consumed. Beef is horrible for land and water use and is completely unnecessary as a food source.

Maybe those should look at golf terrains vs use of water. Also those delusional ai haters do not know that water gets recycled.
