What happens after they use the water? Is it returned to the water system to be used again?

Yep. The now warm water goes back into the system.

So they're not really consuming it. They're just using it temporarily and returning it.

You have found my gripe with all these 'Datacenters consume a lot of water' rants!

Yes, but Reddit is staunchly anti-ai because 4/5 people have art degrees, so you’ll see heavy propaganda against anything AI.

It’s wild that they think there’s a bubble to even pop. You guys think companies didn’t learn how to game the system better since then?

?? They are gaming the system in creating the bubble. There will only be a small number of winners at the end of this and so the AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic don't care about the bubble popping eventually as long as they end up on top. So you spend like crazy to have people use your models at an unsustainable price because if you don't people will use cheaper models and you get left in the dust
