In other news, shit tastes less bad than the public thinks.

I just glanced over out of curiosity.

That fucking AI Slop image used for visualization itself is almost too much to bear...

And - maybe I just got something wrong, please correct me otherwise - what's up with the units used in the handmade and AI-verified calculations?

• what's 70mm (millimetres) of water? Did they mean mm^3^?
• one bullet point estimated the evaporation per square meter, the next one is about per cubic meter of floor space (?)
• overall, I'd guess you'd have to calculate the evaporation for the total air volume and not the plain floor space... Which is, well a fucking lot more

Here are a range of estimates of AI data center water use for California, based mostly on simple fundamental physics of converting energy use to water use for cooling. I did these calculations and then, perhaps appropriately, checked and explored these estimates using four AI models

He guessed, then asked the sycophant machine to tell him he is a smart and clever boy.

To illustrate his point he used a nightmare-inducing AI generated image with talking headless birds and water flowing uphill into both ends of a tube.

Did OP expect this not to downvoted here?

Yes, it uses less than the public thinks, but it still uses too much. 1 ounce is too much. AI can fuck right off. It is not entitled to our world.

Slurp gobble.
