A new bid to place a measure on the ballot that would ask California voters to approve the state's secession from the U.S. has been cleared for signature gathering.
Sorry, I thought we were talking about the amount of power desalination uses. Didn’t even know AI consumes water.
edit: wait a minute–why the fuck does AI consume water???
Second edit: sorry, I got caught up in the original comment talking about the cost per minute for desalination, and immediately went to assuming they were talking about energy costs.
Nah man–I did the same thing, but turned all units into power consumption. Regardless, my point was that you can’t drink AI, and maybe prioritizing the usage of vital resources needs to be reassessed.
LOL, your edit is hilarious. It requires water for cooling. Even in a closed loop, it will have losses. I agree, though. Our prioritization of resources is so whack.
It is, but also like…everything we do takes a ton of water, we just don’t think about it. Even just posting this comment in response has it’s resource requirements.

ngl though, in that context, a half liter of water per query is also fucking insane.
