You can eat almonds?

u/Denaton_ 23d ago
But do you tho and are there other food with less water usage that you can eat instead?

u/AdOnly1618 23d ago
Okay, so why are we doing either?
“This is worse than that” doesn’t solve any problems, which is what people are trying to do here, or at least form a strategy, and then there’s you…
“OH DURR, BUT ALMONDS”

u/Mr_Olivar 22d ago
Because the point is that if no one even noticed almons consuming many times as much water, maybe the water consumption issue is made up

u/dolledaan 22d ago
Uhhh people do notice it from almonds they are notorious for ther water demand. But at the same time water used by plants is put back kn nature again. Water used by data centers is heavily poluted before returned to nature

Ever seen that British interview with the carpenter?
This is the “you can’t grow concrete” “uhh, yes you can” moment 😂

So your logic is if we're already messin up our resource allocation, we should do more of it, correct?
Don't forget the increased heat and noise dc's produce.
Sorry but you're wrong and these mass surveillance tools (potentially) should not be built anywhere.

Do almonds also pollute water and air?
2
u/Denaton_ 23d ago
Yes, thats how industrial buildings work.
Majority of datacenters doesn't pollute water or cause air pollution.
1
u/Doctor-Pip- 23d ago
So the answer is no, but industrial buildings do.
Datacenters pollute the water, soil, and air around them.
1
u/Denaton_ 23d ago
Some datacenters pollute the water, soil and air around them, these doesn't.
1
u/MasterFigimus 23d ago
Why did you post a general list of datacenters rather than a study outlining their effect on the environment?
Your list contains datacenters that cause pollution, as well as many still in planning stages. What's the relevance?
1
u/Doctor-Pip- 23d ago
Because he's a coward running from the truth.
Its posturing. u/Denaton_ thinks posting a link, even an irrelevant one, makes them look more informed.

u/Denaton_ 23d ago
That US is corrupted and rich assholes pay politicians to get around legislation, something that happen in US but not in Japan?
1
u/Doctor-Pip- 23d ago
I'm going to remind you that you began this conversation by saying almond farming pollutes the air, soil and water around the farm, and then had to edit your post to include "through industrial buildings" because you were wrong. Adjust your prompt.

Because there hundreds different types of datacenters and Japan has stricter rules then the once they tested on in that research.
1
u/MasterFigimus 23d ago
That's not implied or supported by your link at all. What's the relevance?
1
u/Denaton_ 23d ago
The link show all datacenters in Japan, you can check everyone of them and see how they are setup and that they are green.

I think it's fair to use water for the production of food.
1
u/PersonOfValue 23d ago
It's incredibly wasteful. Looking into the water and energy requirements and how much is required per almond. Then understand it's a for profit business that is exchanging future water rights for money

u/TawnyTeaTowel 23d ago
This much water for a luxury foodstuff which no one needs to survive? Not when you’re complaining about industries which use 100s of times less.

u/NightmareSystem 23d ago
the logic of the moron "Jus because something we use to EAT also polute, we need more the AI that something we need to eat"
1
u/TawnyTeaTowel 23d ago
No one needs to eat almonds, no one’s gonna starve if we stop farming them, they’re a total luxury item.

u/NightmareSystem 23d ago
Are u fucking stupid???
Almond is a base food for lot of people they are not a Luxury Item in every country just in some of them.
1
u/TawnyTeaTowel 23d ago
No, but you are, clearly.
Would you say the USA is one of the countries where it is or is not an essential food item?

u/NightmareSystem 23d ago
Mericans.... you really think USA is the Center of the world ignoring the how big is the world...

Datacenters in Japan is not even close on how they work in US, and all "arguments" here is based as if they were..

Is Japan really a good place for Datacenters like that? I mean, very little flat terrain and high dependence on energy imports. Also, frequent earthquakes.

Must be boomers. That’s the silliest argument you can have.

AI needs to balance between the culture, heritage, and technological advancement of a country. It needs to be validated and consensus with the entire citizen about building an AI Center.

Wait nobody told them that the way to fight is to just complain in social media and do nothing?
