ngl though, in that context, a half liter of water per query is also fucking insane.

Nah man--I did the same thing, but turned all units into power consumption. Regardless, my point was that you can't drink AI, and maybe prioritizing the usage of vital resources needs to be reassessed.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about the amount of power desalination uses. Didn't even know AI consumes water.

edit: wait a minute--why the fuck does AI consume water???

Second edit: sorry, I got caught up in the original comment talking about the cost per minute for desalination, and immediately went to assuming they were talking about energy costs.

Erectioneering, you say?

It's like those showerthought ultimatums : You can choose to gain eternal life, but every day your dick is the subject of the worst pain you've ever felt.

Living day-to-day life like a Diablo minmaxer.

Oooh oooh, now do one for the AI GPU farms. Now, a lot of people would argue these are not a comparable use of vital resources, what with water being critical for the survival of all life, and AI the current billionaire snake oil.

But I mean, what's really more important than generating capital to grow the net worth of a few people by a few percents so that we can input text to generate pictures of a sick-ass panther or stories that lose the plot less than three sentences in?
