    I mean, they could design them to be on closed loop cooling and take no water per day.

    Data Centers are Temples of Doom.

    They’ll drink the wells dry and our rivers turned to sand by the time they’re done.

    The crops will be swallowed by the earth, and the animals will lay down and turn to dust in this waterless desert.

    And they’ll steal our children by replacing thier ability to think for themselves with AI, assuming they don’t starve in the barren wasteland.
