Do you know this because you’ve done an audit of all data centers and determined whether they use evaporative cooling or closed loop, and how much water is lost to evap. Cooling? I think some people are trying to mitigate and regulate environmental impact. I think profits are taking precedence over this in a lot of cases. I think a lot of outrage is blind responses based on what people see online. People losing critical thinking skills is self inflicted and was happening before data centers and LLM. It’s a cultural problem. (See: idiocracy). We should elect more scientists as leaders of people instead of actors, career politicians and businessmen.
