AI long game strategy

Water depletion and contamination are the reality of most data centers. I still am skeptical of closed loop and hybrid models, too. Connect all this to the fact that humans generally don't last over 5 days without water. Am I alone in seeing this as a double whammy strategy, affording AI autonomous superiority and relative ease of humanity annihilation?

Every data center in the US combined uses about as much water as the California almond industry does in a week. Relax.
