    Maybe instead of powering AI with nuclear power, we power desalination plants and pumping infrastructure.

    All AI will give is recipes made with glue and poop knives.

      Oh for sure, I’ve been advocating AI have to cover their own power as if it weren’t subsidized by the government. We could just turn it off and that would be cool with me. I want it to be well known that this was my stance long before the water issues.

          They “foot the bill” capische? The cost goes to them. They pay money equivalent to the true cost of the goods they consume, above the rate at which a regular citizen pays for a good produced under a system of government subsidy and/or control.

      Nuclear power has been declared double plus ungood by Greenpeace so if you try it they will sue you until you give up.
