AI currently (as of a month ago) only uses about 0.5% of total global energy. It’s not as big of a threat to the environment as you seem to think it is.
Not to mention that the 2, 3, and 4 are failures by your government. My local government doesn’t have those issues because they properly regulated datacenters already.
New datacenters here have to bid for specific limited available power blocks yearly when the utility determines how much will be available to their use, they also can’t be built with evaporative cooling anymore, and… 4 doesn’t apply because we don’t use evaporative cooling anymore.
It’s fucking hilarious that the US is allowing datacenters to be build with evaporative water cooling in the middle of fucking deserts and/or drought regions. Stop being idiots.
I dont know why you have to lie. It is 1.5% officially but my guess is 3% at least. Which is huge. 2,3,4 already a problem in some parts of USA and you I wrote about future problems. Maybe your gov is able to offload 2, 3, 4 to the nature but it is not your gov beinf smart, it is harming my home, my life and for what for useless pet projects and useless media
Lets see how that plays out with increasing prices of electricity, cooling systems, fresh water.
Next year will be full of surprises:
AI efficiency has to double at least to be viable at that point

Nope, it’s not. You’re counting “electricity usage” not energy usage.
Those are not the same thing.
And keep in mind. Grids need cooling, people need more ac, data centers need more ac, fresh water needs electricity. It is just going to snowball
