I’d already seen Green’s video. I agree it’s a small thing compared to the power, but in a world obviously running out of easily accessible potable water, it’s only going to exacerbate problems for the communities that are already being hit by the relentless power costs due to AI as well.
This isn’t a one or the other thing. They’ll need water for cooling. It’s not recycled. it’s got to be clean, potable water.
And it depends on the area. Dude with the blog post isn’t considering the many areas with real scarcity. The water, it’s pollution, etc. are a very real threat to many ecosystems and people.
