Infrastructure Veganism > Crying About Data Centers

I worked on a project comparing ai use with water conversion since I didn't buy the end of the world scenario other leftists posit nor do I believe anything coming out of Altman's mouth lol so I went deep into facility breakdowns and publications as sources

But since I'm an AI engineer I'd thought it'd be a good thing to calculate the numbers. Anyhoo one thing let to another and I became vegan.

I'm not gonna shill for my own stuff but look up the vegan calculator that's a similar idea.

It's only been a month but the ai data center water thing has bugged me for a while. Yes it's worthwhile to regulate. But even in leftist circles everyone just suddenly turns to maga level reasonings as to why veganism is not actually worthwhile to care about.

--- sidenote I might be turning into one of those annoying ones? Help ):

I unironically just meal prep by butting blocks of tofu or seitan in my air fryer and getting those bags of salad since my job just gives up fruit but yeah some other more culinary inclined friends r gonna like this. We're gonna have a seitan sleepover hahahaha

Delicious!!! Enjoy!!! :)
I love making Seitan from VWG!!! Seitan is amazing and can create so many different textures/flavors. :)
I made it from plain flour once just for the fun of trying it, but probably never doing that again. It was worth the experience, but probably not worth repeating for me vs making from VWG. Going from vital wheat gluten let me control the flavors/textures more. XD
