The AI apologists in this thread are wild to me. It's too bad they don't have access to some kinda tool that could give them information on how water tables work.

    They’re in fuck around mode, they’ll eventually find out how it works.

    Their plan is: they fuck around, and let the rest of us find out.

    I’m talking about when aquifers don’t refill, their data centers can’t operate, the cattle have long since died of dehydration, and Midwest is a dust bowl again. The US hasn’t had anything close to an African level drought/famine, starving and thirsty masses get real nasty.

    People blow their minds, They choose to resign, This deformed society is part of a design, It'll never go away, It's in the cards that way, The masses of humanity have always, Always had to suffer

    Bad Religion, Suffer, title track 1988

    😒 yeah. We are, we will. I’ve known that since before I found a song that summed my feelings up a half generation before I could.

    But also, knowing it’s coming, knowing what it will entail, knowing it’s probably going to suck… what are we up to to limit that?

    we are just missing the plague of locusts that africa and ME has. ours went extinct apparently, because we destroyed thier habitat.

    Agreed. Different environments, different “plagues”. I’ve never seen grasshoppers hit that threshold where they go locust mode, but I’ve seen Anabrus simplex (Mormon crickets) so thick they turn modern highways into slip’n’slides.

    I think it's easy regulation, just require a zero-evaporation closed-loop design. I don't know why this isn't a federal requirement.

    Because the regime in charge doesn't give a fuck about the environment. They don't care whether or not we have a drought, if we all drown in flood waters, or if we're dying in a heat wave. You're asking for regulation from the deregulation kings.
