We have access to all the water we need. Three-quarters of the earth’s surface is covered by water, from a depth of a few meters to almost six miles. All we have to do is distill it in large enough quantities and collect the distillate, using the heat generated by multiple atomic reactors, which are also hard at work generating electricity 24/7/365, to power all these AI centers.
Does no one understand the concept of a “win-win” situation?
From one point of view, not neccessarily my own, we need AI to develop superintelligence in order to develop cheap fusion power in order to produce large amounts of cheap freshwater for people. Of course, lack of phosphorous will limit human/animal/plant life on Earth anyway.
You beat me to it. Exact same thoughts expressed differently. Methinks the trouble is mostly one of government regulators and politicians who can’t figure out a way to profit from giving away water and electricity.
MANY OF THE DATA CENTERS ARE BEING BUILT IN RURAL AREAS A LONG WAY FROM THE OCEANS.
