Is wasting massive fucktons of water and electricity an identity thing? Is it identity that RAM now costs 10x what it used to?

  What are you gonna spend these water and electricity in US on instead?

    Everything else? Higher demand for electricity drives up prices across the board.[0] [0] https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/business/energy-environment/ai-data-centers-electricity-costs.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/business/energy-environme...

      Since you thought not elaborating is a good idea, I take it you want more electricity for: - Bitcoin mining - weapons production - banking infrastructure - making slop TV shows - charging preteen phones - playing Mario cart - heating empty mansions to 27C in winter

        - cheaper electricity price for consumers - less pollution - a more stable grid there, fixed it for you

          From the consumer perspective no ChatGPT with slightly cheaper electricity is a no-no. Like you might be happy about that arrangement, but most won't. You don't have any data to corroborate less AI -> less pollution, especially long term. Same for grid stability.
