It's hard to say.

I, I think the water issue has been overstated and, you know, there's been movement on that in the discourse, like Andy Masley has done the most to kind of educate people on, on this.
Garrison LovelyGUEST
Um, I actually would push back on the claim that AI data centers use similar amounts of energy as like normal, you know, data centers.
Garrison LovelyGUEST
Like they're just much more intensive and, and bigger, and so the carbon effects are, are stronger and the potential effects on, uh, you know, the electricity rates for communities c- can be bigger.

But I do – I believe in some value of saying what I mean about this because I worry that these things that sound directionally aligned – and again, when we were going to talk about data centers, I mean, it's like one question – that I got because Andy Masley became a leading figure in sort of chill out about the data center's discourse.

And so people were asking, wait a minute, shouldn't the existential risk people be on the side of doom mongering about water consumption? And I've dabbled with that viewpoint myself, but I think it's a problem because if you convince people that the problem with AI is that it's going to drink all their water, then the fact is like a closed loop cooling system addresses the water problem.
