Mandan Data center pushback

[Davy Crockett]

I'm guessing it might be a pay site in the end ? Some super device that eliminates the need for phone and internet plans because way cheaper and wise to do ?


About 331 million people (98% of the U.S. population) own a mobile phone. Over 317 million of those are smartphones. Many people also keep more than one active device, meaning total active cell phone subscriptions or connections in the United States actually exceed the total human population.

I carry 2 phones, 1 personal phone and 1 for my work.

Even at 10 cents a day for a subscription would add up fast for a big corporation.

One search on google. (Assuming AI is correct)

A medium sized data center uses over 100 million gallons of water per year, uses 44,000 to 175,000 megawatts of power per year, puts out between 60 to 78 decibels of noise 24 hours a day (Constant heavy traffic sound), and when backed up by diesel generators can put thousands of metric tons of pollutants into the air. IMO, there is PLENTY of evidence for AGGRESSIVE pushback. So I guess lycan can label me an idiot OR explain how his beloved AI is incorrect.

A closed loop cooling system doesn’t use up that water

Bob: The only good "closed loop" is the one around the necks of these data centers!
AI & data centers are extremes, & we don't want them nor need them!

I'm guessing if Fight Club would have been written today, they wouldn't be blowing up credit card banks at the end...

Sorry if I spoiled the movie for you.

If it was a closed loop system, there wouldn't be a water usage measured in a per year basis. However, it is measured in a per year basis, so I'm VERY suspicious to think it's a closed loop system. Additionally, the data centers already in operation are NOT closed loop systems. I think the closed loop system BS is used up until construction begins and then it becomes to costly to put in a closed loop system and it will now be open system and now it's too late to stop construction. AI even says that the vast majority of data centers use evaporative cooling system. That's just me though.
