The environmental impact of AI is massively exacerbated by capitalism. We have the technology to minimize the environmental impact, namely renewable energy, but we choose not the use them because big oil bullshit and the fact that it's more expensive.
Socialism is the only hope the environment has.
Do you realize how much water gets taken out of the water cycle just to cool those things?
Do you realize we can use treated wastewater and many data centers do? Again, most don't because it's more expensive.
Do you realize that it's still contained away from the water cycle and making water shortages way worse? Waste water is still water.
