The “market” demands efficiency to generate a higher return on investment.

AI will drive efficiency like literally, nothing before. The impact on manufacturing and logistics will rival the Industrial Revolution. This will result in reduced expenses and higher profits.

AI requires huge processing centers. Those centers require huge amounts of energy and water to keep them running and keep them cool.

Every iteration of chip development will hopefully reduce those needs, but they will remain high.

The “markets” demand it. You won’t be asked (nor will I.) We are simply along for the ride.

What markets demand it? Sounds quasi governmental to me.

So now that AI has launched , the huge amounts of water and energy required don’t seem to be scaring the climate change cult too much. Why do you think that is? Usually they’re screaming if you grill a steak…

Things that make you go hmmm 🤨

If these data centers are so valuable, why do residential electricity and water users have to pick up the bill for building and maintaining and running them? Shouldn’t the data center owners be picking up the bill for all these costs, as they are going to be the ones profiting from them?
