    It’s so fucking stupid. We don’t need an AI water shortage. The water exists, it’s just not in fucking tax havens like Texas elon.

    Course, can’t blame the corpos that governments wont do their damn job protecting citizens water supplies.

    Disgusting. I’ve been jumping ship from cloud anything whenever I can. This just cements that even more.
