Global beef production used approximately 264 trillion gallons. Quite literally 1000x more water.
For a single type of food.
Water for irrigation of peoples lawns is just under 3 trillion liters a year in the US, about 10x as much.
Where are the protests against that?
Nowhere, because people are sheep and can’t use their critical thinking skills.
This is like watching people yell at their kids to turn off the light in their room(which is an led) while leaving the AC running at home while they run out to the grocery store 10 miles away in a 7 seat SUV.
“The Holocaust only killed like six million people, while Communism in China and the USSR killed tens of millions each, therefore the Nazis weren’t ackshually that bad!”
LLMs in current form are protested because they’re a worthless “technology” that also wastes a fuck ton of resources so the ruling class can do IP theft at scale.
Why does everyone jump to AI? A gigantic portion of data centers power streaming services, cloud hosting, and content delivery networks / caching services.
I understand the sentiment against the proliferation of data centers and the impact they have on the local environment but services people consume on the regular have driven this for years now.

That’s what you sound like, ya fucking clown.
AI apologists in the wild are so weird.

Except it’s using very little water overall
The Malthusian argument to defend AI…
Yeah but billionaire bad.
Think about it. You might be on to something
