"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.

More than a dozen investors are pressuring Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet's Google to provide detailed data on water and energy consumption at their U.S. data centers, Reuters reported today. The pressure comes as all three companies have recently scrapped multibillion-dollar data center projects following community opposition, and as North American data centers consumed nearly 1 trillion liters of water in 2025, according to market research firm Mordor Intelligence.

according to market research firm Mordor Intelligence.

Do they work with Palantir? Both seem like bad name choices given the obvious connections to evil entities.

It’s obviously a joke to them.

One of these AI startups should be named Cyberdyne Systems.

I have seen so many comments on platforms saying that the water use in modern data centres isn't a concern. They say it's in a closed loop, or not using drinkable water, or some other pacifying statements. Now we have a figure of 1 trillion litres of water for 2025 alone.
