Alt Text: The cartoon illustrates the problem of water use in the AI age: a farmer’s child and his mother are pumping a little water from a well for their daily use. Two knights in armor, transporting a large, spherical water container on wheels, come by and say, “The King wishes to make more avatars of himself as a Ghibli character.”
In the background, a castle sits enthroned on a hill. The cartoon illustrates the excessive water consumption required for AI model queries.

    You’re cherry picking and I think you’re aware of that, given you only use Proton as an example.

    What they’re claiming isn’t false and it’s a good reflection of what’s happening globally.

    Don’t be ridiculous. Who trained your model?

      “Don’t be ridiculous. Who trained your model?”

      I don’t entertain conversations where i’m being talked down to. If you want to try again with respect, let me know. Otherwise, we’re done here.

        respect is reciprocal and demands honest dialogue between people.

        you ignored that requirement when you specifically attempted to move the goal from “AI data centers” to just “data centers”. you didn’t stop there either, you then attempted to gaslight everyone into thinking that this was acceptable. surprise, it’s not.

        you get what you give, and you gave bullshit. time to settle your tab and eat your bullshit.
