"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That's what the farm folk are claiming, but that doesn't make it true. Data centers can lose 80% water from evaporation, so their run off is definitely more concentrated, but if they're using say less than 10 percent of the total water usage of the rest of the town, they aren't the ones causing any extra issues. This sounds like (in this specific case) it's all issues from commercial farming that are trying to shift blame.
