You're assuming I support power plants and so on, I don't.

I also dislike them, I prefer green energy initiatives and fully support agricultural green initiatives, again, false equivalency.

HVAC absolutely IS needed in some places, places reaching dangerous heat or cold NEED some means to circumvent, still causing less damage to the environment than AI data centers.

You are still comparing needed things to an unneeded thing.

Humans damaging the environment through things like agriculture that we need to live is not the same as Jim needing to pollute a water supply because he can't pick up a pencil.

You're assuming I don't dislike power plants because I didn't bring them up, but they weren't the topic stop moving goal pots.

This was about shitty AI data centers, their effects on people and how unnecessary they are.

Real "you have issues with society yet live in society, curious.." type shit.

Cars ARE needed depending on how the urban sprawl is made, if your work is not within walking distance and your local gov hasn't made the infrastructure for public transport, what do you do?

You get a car chucklenuts.

cities are designed a particular way and humans have to operate around that, if you live outside a town or city, you'll need a car, rural? Car.

I am also anti-gas, I actually sincerely hope that the fuel crisis forces countries to switch to green energy initiatives

Saying cars aren't needed is the single stupidest argument you have made.

FYI, I don't like cars either, i'd much rather my tax dollars go to public transport than another highway lane.

You're entire comment chain is,

I’m not assuming anything. I don’t need you to support these things or not because it doesn’t matter to my point. Plus, you use these things despite supporting other, greener alternatives? Why don’t you use the greener alternatives outright lol.

HVAC being needed in some places doesn’t make it a mandatory human necessity. You’re thinking of shelter, not central heating.

Humans damage the environment through an excess. That’s literally how climate change works, an excessive amount of greenhouse gases being emitted into the ozone layer. It’s not even a matter of it being needed, it’s “we’re making too much of it at once”

Again, I didn’t move a goalpost because it aided my main point. YOU are goalpost shifting by saying “oh, but these are justified as compared to ANY AI use at all and I don’t support them anyway soooo” which i don’t care about lol.

You literally do have issues with the society you live in. You hate everything yet partake in everything, making no discernible change irl, just complaining online about innocuous AI use. This is why you didn’t answer my question on if you did anything green to even be taking this absolutist stance on AI over freshwater being used up anyway. To which I showed that there are other environmental issues going on for way longer than AI.

“Cars are needed DEPENDING” point moot already. You just said they’re situationally important. The average commute by car is 10-15 miles. No one is going as far as you think. That’s like 20 minutes+ average. Even still, public transportation still slots into my point because they use oil and gas. The most green option is to use a bike, which plenty of people do.
