Which takes power, the same shit we’re struggling to get because of the data centers running on water that we also cannot purify fast enough to run. You ever consider even with the technology the infrastructure not being there might be more important than the technology?
Me when I don't understand what a desalination plant is or how horribly power inefficient it is and how it wastes even more energy just to power my dumb fucking sora prompts.
If by "clean" you mean remove salt it's a process as, if not more energy intensive, than creating AI memes. It also leaves behind highly corrosive brine.
which is crazy expensive because it takes a lot of power to operate and as the image attached to your stupidity shows, has brine as a subproduct which makes sea water saltier - aka: not good. things are not so simple.
You're the one who is confused. Desalination treatment plants are extremely expensive and do not constitute the majority of water sources used to cool data centres.
You’re fucking delusional, so why not make water free? There’s more than enough for centuries. You pathetic uneducated piece of donkey shit 🤣 so fucking stupid. Only magtards would believe this nonsense
Every other month there's a report from this foundation and that foundation and this group of activists and that group and the government and the WHO that we're running out of drinkable water, but sure, let's use this not so commonly used technology to power computers first.
Yeah we did, which takes a ton of energy to clean, and then a ton of energy to transport to any city not near the ocean (most of them), which further accelerates climate change. 😂
Our end will be hilarious.
Desalination at scale is enormously expensive and energy intensive, so you r suggesting a very energy-intensive AI Data Centre is cooled by water extracted by another v energy intensive process. Unless you have invented a cold fusion reactor, I don’t see this working out.
It's not the quantity of ocean water available.
It's the enormous amount of energy required to produce fresh water from salt water.
And PS: the AI companies are building any desalination plants. They're just sucking their water out of local aquifers.
