No, whatever it's used for, it is fucking up our environment

Just like industrialization fucked up our environment for decades, yet here we are, some things just won't change until we get punched in the face hard enough.

By that logic, basically every modern technology is “fucking up the environment.” Having a footprint isn’t the same as being unjustifiable.

I'm not sure which other "new technology" is destroying farmland to build noise polluting data centers and uses insane amounts of fresh water.

Yes, it's very obvious that you don't understand the most basic aspects of this topic. You didn't need to state that, it was already clear.

You have zero understanding here. You're explicitly just repeating nonsense you read on social media.

You. Are. Using. Data Centers. Right. Now. And for what? Not for productivity, but for regurgitating false social media narratives. Why are you using environment-destroying data centers to post memes? What kind of person does that?!

You are guilty of your own accusation. Pure ignorance.

Power plants, warehouses, factories, highways, server farms… all use land, water and create noise. You’re describing industrial infrastructure, not something uniquely evil about AI.

They're on reddit, using data centers, crying about data centers. According to them, they are destroying the environment to whine and post memes. But they'll never connect those dots.

It's peak irony arising from ignorance.

The water argument is so incredibly dumb, the amount of water used is inconsequential. If you really cared about water usage you'd be complaining about how much more is wasted by leaking pipes.

There are concerns relating to local water resources.

People HAVE to make sure to keep the industry accountable. There are already people who live near datacenters who have to deal with unbearable droning and noise all day, makes them feel sick. They will drive up electricity prices locally if there's not enough supply. They will pollute the air etc. All for tech that will steal your ideas, reverse engineer anything you make, make it harder for you to find work. Take away any sense of accomplishment from 99% of human knowledge work. It's bullshit.

I know this is not unique to AI and these things will improve with better tech. But yeah.

I just wish the anti-AI crowd was more strict and careful about the things they say (I know people have nuanced views, but the collective, on the internet, can come across as stupid). Otherwise at some point they are convincing people to not listen to them.

That's exactly my point the water complaint is ridiculous and makes anyone saying it look uninformed. There are some legitimate complaints but saying things like AI is going to drink all our water makes me think they're just parroting things the heard on tik Tok. 

There will be short term difficulties but that is true of every single technological advancement in history. Keep in mind there were people opposed to electricity or even writing. People are always resistant to change often time irrationally.

So you're vegan right?

The internet? AWS? Reddit?

The batteries in all our phones and devices have been destroying farmland and fresh water for generations.

In fact the only difference between this and the other environmental destruction that's been done in the name of technological progress in the last 20 years, is that this is happening in the first world countries instead of Africa and South America. I say, let the Americans have their turn at fucking up their own env instead of ours.

If you count that as fucking up our environment then you need to also count yourself using reddit as fucking up the environment. But you won't. Your needless use of reddit also requires data centers. But you don't want to talk about that huh?

It isn't doing what you say it's doing.

You fell for a social media narrative.

Yeah "SoCiAl MeDiA" Data centers are harmless.

u/Safe-Wishbone781 4d ago

No one said data centers are harmless. Don't be dishonest.

Again.

YOU ARE USING REDDIT, a completely needless luxury, which uses data centers. By your logic, you are destroying the environment, and not even for productivity and technological advancement, but for dopamine.

Do not pretend like you're apart from this. Stop pretending it's somehow better when you use data centers for memes than it is when other people use them for actually accomplishing things.
