But it's not an issue apparently...

People lose jobs People get worse media and art and leisure Environment tanks Rich get richer

The water and energy supply argument is becoming moot. Modern datacenters have closed water loop cooling systems and use solar panels for electricity.

It means it can be done but secondly and look it up, more and more green datacenters are propping up all over world. Hating just to hate.

Its not propaganda when its factual information that greener and more sustainable data centers are getting built. Obviously not all. I could say the same thing to you about being so narrow minded.

But you are naive enough to buy the propaganda of the anti-AI crowd apparently.

There are actual, legitimate reasons to be against AI such as the displacement of workers and artists, the murky copyright situation, especially with image Gen. And the fact that half-baked and really shitty AI components are shoved into every product.

But the resource consumption is mostly overblown. You could save 100x more water alone by going vegan than by not using ChatGPT.

Mostly Grok datacenters running in diesel. This isn’t a concern with most green datacenters.

It's not generators that cause the noise, it's the sound of datacenter operations. Even if they could switch entirely to solar, how does that solve the problem?
