alt Hacker NewsThe only one that's not entirely true is the water usage concern. The vast amount of water usage is non-consumptive, and you can even use reclaimed wastewater. To be clear, I'm on your side-- I just want to make sure that we don't give our opponents any ammunition by spouting misinformation. I'm happy to be proven wrong on this. https://blog.andymasley.com/p/the-ai-water-issue-is-fake

Your enemies aren’t afraid to spout misinformation, and they’re winning.

This is not true in any of the datacenters in my state. Their water usage is not only extreme enough to be causing genuine hardship in the communities they're near, but they have recently begun pressuring cities to allow them to drain even more water out of the local supplies.
