Also, water. We’ll take all of that please, just pipe it right over to our spot in the desert. We’ll need some more money with that, of course.
Turning off AI data centers will instantly save water and energy and reduce pollution.
But the "human counterparts" will still eat and shower if you fire them.
So unless you are planning to murder all the unemployed people, your argument makes no sense at all.
Ok, so you are advocating for mass murder, is that right?
You can turn off AI/datacenters. If you try to turn off humans on a large scale, it's called genocide.
No it's called being ugly.
Less people is less data less data is less centers. You're just treating the symptoms. Restricted breeding solves it.
If you want me to list the myriad ways that I want humanity to use less water, I can. This just happens to be top of the list because it has no fucking value at all and is expected to use even more than the others.
I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say here, other than you use chatgpt and want to stan for it. Ask it to compare the water use to human counterparts, whatever you mean by that. Or really, don’t because the water that would waste is certainly not worth it.
No I just want less people and less a.i. lol
Less capitalism and bullshit projects like water intensive crops in deserts.
Oh, haha, carry on then.
Ah, just kill half the humans. That will make water consumption go way down. Follow me for more resource-saving tips
Well, not half. Just a tiny amount, some would say that just 1% is enough.
Found Thanos account liked subscribed for more dumb Hollywood ideas.
Here ya go: in US someone has the audacity to ask people to use less water so that AI can function. Yet the whole city has been growing in population just fine for quite some time. A mystery, right?
I never said that. Reread my comment. I want people to say "hey we should use less resources" and a good way to do that is not endlessly replicate ego spawn like a mindless virus.
I didn't read it that way. In this case - yes, we most definitely should
