    Global beef production used approximately 264 trillion gallons. Quite literally 1000x more water.

    For a single type of food.

    Water for irrigation of peoples lawns is just under 3 trillion liters a year in the US, about 10x as much.

    Where are the protests against that?

    Nowhere, because people are sheep and can’t use their critical thinking skills.

    This is like watching people yell at their kids to turn off the light in their room(which is an led) while leaving the AC running at home while they run out to the grocery store 10 miles away in a 7 seat SUV.

    Missing the forest for the trees. The lot of you.

      “The Holocaust only killed like six million people, while Communism in China and the USSR killed tens of millions each, therefore the Nazis weren’t ackshually that bad!”

      That’s what you sound like, ya fucking clown.

        Except AI water use is the number is people who drown in backyard pools. Not great, but not an argument for banning it

      AI apologists in the wild are so weird.

      LLMs in current form are protested because they’re a worthless “technology” that also wastes a fuck ton of resources so the ruling class can do IP theft at scale.

        Meat apoligists are also weird, just saying. Meat Production is way worse than AI. Lots of animals are sufferint and it’s very bad for the enviornment.
