But this article is misleading.

The data center isn't open yet. If construction continues, it will open in 2027

H2O *may* be related to construction.

Also:
2015 Avg water use of US citizen: 83gal/day
Src: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residential_water_use_in_the_U.S._and_Canada

500,000/(83*365)=~16.5
16–17 peoples' annual water usage.

Also, data center water use: 5,000,000gal/day
Human water usage: 83gal/day

We must fight, but we must be accountable.

This water usage by AI with how fast & widespread it's become even among restrained outlets is doing incalculable harm to your image. It's an obvious ploy letting you hang yourselves publicly.
It also illustrates what's lacking in left wing causes today. You don't have anyone removing roadblocks to your cause, so have no 'defense against the dark arts' if you'll forgive a harry potter allegory.

This was supposed to be supplementary. My principal point was made in another post. Maybe I should have linked the two accordingly. Forgive the oversight.

Are you referring to something specific? Please say what it is.

Wtf you complaining about?

Yet you still stand around wondering why.
FACT CHECK YOUR MATERIAL BEFORE PUBLISHING. BASIC questions would have revealed this as a red herring. Questions like is this extraordinary by local norms? Or even a basic what ARE local norms would have revealed this as a non issue. BASIC FUCKING SCIENCE KNOWS A VALUE WITHOUT A CONTRAST IS JUST A DATAPOINT

Tucson water service area is 1.8 billion gallons a month. The fucking GOLF courses consume anywhere from 300-450 MILLION gallons. A MONTH. 37 golf courses use 8-12 million gallons EACH over the Tucson municipal area. YOU do the math.

Knock it off with the manufactured crisis bullshit. There's plenty of ways of hating on AI without having to MISREPRESENT. Also known as a 'lie by omission'. If you have to lie to make your case...You have no case.

I am beginning to believe all billionaires are nihilists. Theres seems to be a biggest push to put data centers in the most drought stricken areas which seems designed to hasten the end of

They just use data centers to kill us and pillage the land, instead of guns and bombs.
