  • AI systems themselves don’t inherently require large amounts of water. The water use comes from data center cooling design choices. Closed-loop liquid cooling systems can minimize water consumption, and large bodies of water like lakes, rivers, or the sea can serve as effective heat sinks.

    So, high water usage is not a technical necessity of AI. It’s just cheaper and easier to ignore mother nature. Especially when you are in a race against the other AI companies.

    If the US had not given up on saving the climate, laws for environmental protection could have helped.


  • The thing is, the AI bubble is mainly a big fucking bet.

    The bet is, that the new data centers will bring us AGI or even ASI.

    As long as they haven’t tested that theory it’s unlikely that the bubble will burst - they just put too much money in there to fold now. It’s “all in” for AI companies.

    They hope that AI will take over most white collar work, and with robotics later most work overall.











  • You can’t think about everything. Might have been simple laziness.

    Or perhaps he just had put a lot of money into this account and thought no one would notice.

    Or someone in Israel who has access to the stuff the Mossad took from the Epstein Estate got bored and booted up Epstein’s PlayStation 5 to game a bit.

    There are a lot of possibilities but since the government is more interested in obscuring than solving anything we can only guess.

    The only things really clear are that Epstein didn’t kill himself and Trump is a pedo.

    One is a 6 month travel vacation, the other is 5 hours of boredom in cramped space. And before that comes waiting for the flight, stress with boarding, TSA, jet lag,…

    And you are supposed to ignore all that and work normally the next day. Or perhaps on the same day, or even on the flight.
