> With the talk of AI data centers' impact on the world, you'd think this would be 10x to 100x the amount of energy in order to get the effects they're using here.

Well there's also training to consider. But yeah, most of what I see online about datacenters is nonsense. People worried about water use as a top concern are misinformed.

Look, I absolutely get it if you're worried your boss is just waiting for the day to replace you with an LLM. Fucking get organized with your fellow laborers instead of getting distracted by datacenter water use. Call your politicians to rein in billionaires. If anything the ownership class is probably directing online discourse towards electricity and water user to keep people away from class-focused debates.
