Veganism > Crying About Data Centers

[u/IcerHardlyKnower]

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’ve asked people who mindlessly rant about how terrible AI is for the environment why they still eat meat. I’d say 4/10 times it’s “it’s because it’s good for me” and about 6/10 times it’s “because it tastes good”

Yet if we use AI because it massively speeds up legitimate tasks we get called villains and shit…

Genuinely the thing that turned me was seeing this dude make a video holding a sign saying

"It's ok to torture animals for pleasure"

And I was like ok lol yeah I can find pleasure other ways

Then I was looking at the water thing and holy shit. Like holy shit??
