    The AI cost of water isn’t really a big deal in comparison to the consumption of water through crops and other means worldwide.

    I heard the cost of water for AI worldwide is 1/80 the water consumption of corn in America alone.

    What is a big deal is the money invested towards it is holding up our economy, (when it could be spent on making society better) creating fake news and impersonating humans at a rapid rate.

    Also, the machine costs $500B/year to operate and generates less than $2B in gross revenue. So John Shareholder is going to need a multi-trillion dollar bailout in a year or two.

        I love big tech’s products after the startup funding designed to kill competition has been spent. It’s really the sweet spot where the product doesn’t function efficiently anymore AND it costs more than the original product or service it replaced AND any human workers involved are not protected as employees.

      I think ai can be useful and beneficial to the world if used correctly. This is not possible within the capitalist system however.

    Yeah, I think objectively the “A.I.'s” are kind of neat, like those old desktop pal cats kinda of neat, cost almost nothing to run. But A.I. costs such an extreme ammount of resources to run enitre cities could be run in its deficits alone. We do not have the energy, water, or computers to run it, but something is bankrolling it.

      Person of the Year is not an endorsement of their practices, it’s really just whoever dominated the news cycle that year. Both Hitler and Stalin have been Person of the Year. Sometimes it’s not even people, like “The Computer” in 1982.
