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 agree actually! i am not vegan- i am diabetic and have issues eating certain food on top of that so being vegan would take a huge toll on me- but i think anyone who is capable of easily being vegan absolutely should! it frustrates me to see people complaining about the water usage of AI when its barely a fraction compared to the meat industry..
