> ...and many buildings use millions of gallons of water (often fresh, potable water) per day in their cooling operations. This is outrageous. People still struggle to access fresh water (and power), but hey "sustainability is all to our company" is always promoted as if something nice is being done on from the behemoth's sides. BS. What a waste of resources. I truly condemn all this. To this day I do still refuse to use any of this technology and hope that all this ends in the near future. It's madness. I see this as nothing more than next-gen restrictive lousy search engines, and as many have pointed out ads are going to roll soon. The more people adopt it the worse will be for everyone. I always emphasize this: 10-15 years ago I could find everything through simple web searches. Everything. In many cases even landing on niche and unexpected but useful and interesting websites. Today that is a difficult/impossible task. Perhaps there is still room for a well-done traditional search engine (haven't tried Kagi but people in general do say nice things about it) to surface and take the lead but I doubt it, when hype arrives especially in the tech industry people follow blindly. There are still flourishing "ai" startups and from night to day everyone has become a voice or expert on the subject. Again: BS. Traditional web engines and searches were absolutely just fine and quite impressed with their outputs. I remember it. What the heck has happened?
