The water usage of golf courses? Or would we find neither, and learn instead that anti-AI is the only bandwagon you’ve hopped on because it is the most popular?

minus-squareBJW@lemmus.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-21 month agoYou would be mistaken. Data Centers use about 0.06% of the USAs total Water per year. Watering golf courses in total uses about 0.5 percent. My personal hardware that hosts my AI uses zero water. It uses more electricity when running a game. There are more video gamers than there are users of AI. Your persona is indeed just jumping on the popular bandwagon.
