you really are deluded!
it hasn't delivered any of that, and it's eating WAY more potable water than your measly figures.
you're simply in the cult and can't see anything outside, so assume everyone else is deluded. I provided you with a raft of links illustrating the problem and you call me ignorant.
Back up your garbage position with evidence if it's so easy!
Are you dating a bot? Is that why this is so painful?
You're being trained to defend something that will never love you lol
Oh! Look at how useless AI is!

whoopy, yet another threat surface to deal with, you think is a good thing?
you really are fucking dumb
Those figures are from the sources YOU shared...
It's ok to admit you didn't actually read the sources you quoted...
Look, I get it... I'm a leftist, and I know that anything anti-capitalism is en vogue right now; but some of us have been at this for a very long time... long enough to understand the importance of nuance and technical detail.
If you can separate your emotion from the issue I'm happy to have an intelligent discussion, but if you're going to continue falling back onto charged language and hyperbole I'm not interested.
yes, and they're A HUGE PROBLEM, not the insignificant rounding error you make it sound like. You idiots are consuming enormous amounts of potable water from muni supplies and letting it fucking evaporate, you smooth brained dolt.
if you're a leftist you're the shittiest leftist I've ever encountered. There's nothing emotional involved aside from your sycophancy for AI kiddo.
Oh and my amazement that you're so stupid to continue
Did you just look at those big numbers and forget to contextualize that around our existing water usage? That's embarrassing...
THE EXISTING WATER USAGE KEEPS US ALIVE YOU FUCKING MORON.
And many of those muni water supplies are at risk. And why should they have to pay more for water because some asshole wants to evaporate MILLIONS OF GALLONS computing inference shit?
do you have any fucking point?
This entire discourse is lost on your because you're enamored with something and don't care about the effects.
AI is not to blame for decades of deregulation. They are already doing this with beef, almonds, soy... Ad infinitum...
Cope harder. You're just choosing to overlook the ENORMOUS waste behind the things YOU care about. You're a hypocrite.
