@BlakeSNeff Data center water use isn't "minuscule." While smaller than agriculture nationally, they are top industrial users locally. In specific cities, they swallow a massive chunk of available water and compete directly under water stress. https://t.co/7qkd47iijH
@champtgram Because we are not myopic Americans who think the whole world should do their bidding and do everything their way. We actually talk to other people in other countries. America is not the centre of the universe.
@samwoods As an author, I still default to me writing my own words. I haven't found a way for AI to mimic my style, diction, tone etc. And it gets into loops using phrases that screams AI. A year trying to get it to work, and back to square one. Sigh. Thoughts?
If I had never derived meaning from my work, I would've quit decades ago and got a job. If only 1-2% of society gets meaning from their work, that is one sad and mundane existence. As much as I hope AI will liberate the human condition, most folks seem to demand lives of 'quiet desperation', even when they are given the keys to the kingdom. Security trumps freedom and happiness. 👎
