    This. It burns too much electricity, wastes too much water and is wrong 70% of the time. Even if its private and offline the problems with it go waaaaay beyond that.

      These concerns about water and electricity are overblown (on the global level, locally it’s still a concern). Though with that said if AI-generated video takes off then it 100% will be a disaster.

        The datacenter industry has planned build outs that will require them using 13-15% of the power in America even after they add their own filthy new generation.

        That’s insane.

          The American power grid is so screwed.

          I’m still in total despair over Trump killing that offshore wind farm that was near completion. It’s like he’s going out of his way to crush our hope for the future.
