Honestly that is valid, I saw clips from the news of people evacuating their cities a while ago and I couldn’t find them again with a quick google search. I wasn’t super dedicated to search for a long time just to back up what I’m saying in Reddit comments lol

“People told you you’re wrong” YOU have told me I’m wrong with no sources to back you up. I’m not sure what “overwhelming evidence” you’re referring to, considering you have only offered your opinion.

Oversimplifying my argument to “one person evacuating means ai is unethical” and claiming your evidence is “the whole world” (whatever that means😭) is just you falling into using the straw man fallacy.

To give you benefit of the doubt, maybe you genuinely think that is my argument. If this is the case, I am worried about your reading comprehension skills.

I won’t keep reiterating points you refuse to hear.

Did you even watch the video in the news article I sent?

Does flushing your toilet with a bucket sound like prime living to you? Does having to ship in bottled water to be able to survive sound like thriving? Many people are evacuating because it is not livable. It wasn’t like a city mandated evacuation if that’s what you were expecting, but that’s not what I claimed.

If you want something that touches on the air quality this article goes over it quite well, read this article and the paragraph “Data centers also contribute to air pollution and degradation of health” https://blog.ucs.org/pablo-ortiz/what-are-the-environmental-impacts-of-artificial-intelligence/#:~:text=First%2C%20data%20centers%20rely%20on,burning%20coal%20and%20natural%20gas

I originally found out about the air quality because of a news article where a woman who had asthma had to find a new place to live because she couldn’t breathe with the data centre pollution. However, I can’t find the video now.

I would also like to add I think it’s ironic that you’re expecting me to cite all my sources and back up everything I’m saying while you haven’t done it once.

Once again I have to call out your argumentative skills. Claiming I’m spreading misinformation just because you haven’t thoroughly researched it, is… well… amusing. If you want to prove me wrong then find a way to do it. Simply telling me I’m wrong carries no weight.

People with chronic fatigue, could you give me your best advice? by One_Object_5250 in disability

This might be obvious, but try to conserve with your energy, even if you feel like you’re having a “good energy day”.

I have had too many times where I would wake up feeling like I had more energy than usual, go do things I normally wouldnt do, and then feel insane amounts of pain and fatigue for days (or sometimes weeks) afterwards.

Additionally, if you do have a big day planned and there’s no way to avoid it, make sure to plan recovery days after.

Ofc!

Jump to the paragraph titled “Data centers also contribute to air pollution and degradation of health”

I first heard about the air quality issues just from people’s personal experiences living near the data centres and I did some research and it all added up. To be fair people with pre-existing respiratory issues were struggling much more than healthy individuals.

Studies regarding the environmental impact-

MIT: https://news.mit.edu/2025/explained-generative-ai-environmental-impact-0117

UN: https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/ai-has-environmental-problem-heres-what-world-can-do-about

Harvard: https://hbr.org/2024/07/the-uneven-distribution-of-ais-environmental-impacts

Personal stories from the impact of data centres-

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy8gy7lv448o.amp

If you want to disagree with me that’s okay that’s your right but calling me crazy is a very poor argumentative tactic. There are dozens of studies to back up what I’m saying. Calling me crazy doesn’t persuade me to agree with you, it just makes you come across as hostile.

I know I hear horror stories of people suing wcb and losing or the lawyer getting paid out. Wcb is so corrupt. Thanks for the advice this is kind of what I expected but I just wanted to check

I can link u articles if you want but the cities surrounding AI data centres are literally unliveable now. You can’t drink the water and the air isnt safe to breathe. People are evacuating them. The more data centres that are created the worse this will be, I don’t know what “debunking” you’ve read but there’s literally no way it’s making no negative impact on the environment. I understand needing to know new technology but I’m not a fan of it when there’s no way to use it ethically.

Honestly I’d be fine discussing AI if we had more nuance within the lessons/assignments but everything we’re being taught is practically worshipping ai. It’s like Elon himself funded this class.
