    I see the “AI is using up massive amounts of water” being proclaimed everywhere lately, however I do not understand it, do you have a source?

    My understanding is this probably stems from people misunderstanding data center cooling systems. Most of these systems are closed loop so everything will be reused. It makes no sense to “burn off” water for cooling.
