We use twice as much to maintain golf courses and 4x as much to water our lawns every year. I’m not saying it’s a drop in the bucket, so to speak, but it’s not the worst offender. We have bigger fish to fry.
Keep in mind data center water use is set to grow geometrically over the next few years. It will soon be one of the worst offenders. The time to get it under control is now.
We’re not about to run out of water. You should be asking for better permitting for renewable energy because we can run out of that
Texas actually outgrew California in renewable energy because of less regulation
Global beef production used approximately 264 trillion gallons. Quite literally 1000x more water.
For a single type of food.
Water for irrigation of peoples lawns is just under 3 trillion liters a year in the US, about 10x as much.
Where are the protests against that?
Nowhere, because people are sheep and can’t use their critical thinking skills.
This is like watching people yell at their kids to turn off the light in their room(which is an led) while leaving the AC running at home while they run out to the grocery store 10 miles away in a 7 seat SUV.
Missing the forest for the trees. The lot of you.
AI apologists in the wild are so weird.
LLMs in current form are protested because they’re a worthless “technology” that also wastes a fuck ton of resources so the ruling class can do IP theft at scale.
Except it’s using very little water overall
Meat apoligists are also weird, just saying. Meat Production is way worse than AI. Lots of animals are sufferint and it’s very bad for the enviornment.
Nice Forum sliding attempt.
Yeah let’s get rid of meat and agriculture and eat ai tokens
No, let’s get rid of ai and meat and eat more sustainable foods.
Global South doesn’t eat enough meat. Let’s get rid of first worlders being fat and lazy, and distribute the food to all countries equally, then talk about meat consumption.
What do you mean by “eat enough meat”? Humans don’t have a biological need to eat meat, so by definition technically everyone has “enough” meat. If you just mean in terms of fairness then sure, the global south should get a bigger share of resources, that’s clear.
How the fuck can we get enough protein without eating enough meat? People in global south do not only suffer from calorie deficiency but also protein deficiency, which is related to meat (red or white) and dairy usage.
“The Holocaust only killed like six million people, while Communism in China and the USSR killed tens of millions each, therefore the Nazis weren’t ackshually that bad!”
That’s what you sound like, ya fucking clown.
Except AI water use is the number is people who drown in backyard pools. Not great, but not an argument for banning it
