I've never seen any of these articles explain what this means. How is generative AI "using up" water. When a search uses a liter or whatever of water, what is happening to this water?

Every time that happens, a little more water is burned and a little more carbon is released.

This is just nonsense that makes me think the author doesn't know either.

Water is often used in cooling servers. But it's contained and reused. It doesn't go anywhere, it's the vehicle to move heat from the servers to wherever else. In a pipe. In a closed loop. All these doomsday AI articles act like water is being lost permanently due to the use of these servers. Even if the water was escaping the closed system...did no one pay attention to the water cycle unit in grade school?!

Why do you even care? Some of them still have living relatives who came from the old country.

Because they're both predominantly Catholic communities...

No one is claiming a nationality. They're claiming an ethnicity, a heritage. You being hung up on this distinction is on you. Not the people you go out of your way to misinterpret.

Yeah, it often involves being Catholic and having massive families

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Well Yeah, it's that important.

So the exact same reason they tried to ban tiktok...except this one actually happened.

Yeah...I saw that. Hence my comment. Why would they allow that in? Even if it was labeled as that, they could do like I said in my comment and slap the highest tariff available on it - if that were the actual goal, and not an obvious lie to cover up their ineptitude.

... Why were we allowing items into the country that were shipped through an uninhabited island to begin with? Like, that should be the red flag... They should treat it like losing your parking garage ticket, you pay the top rate.
