What the Cloud Actually Drinks from "AI’s Water Problem Is Smaller Than You Think" on @hackernoon https://hackernoon.com/ais-water-problem-is-smaller-than-you-think
For years, the environmental conversation about computing was about carbon. Water was an afterthought, buried in sustainability reports under "operational metrics." That was a mistake, because the physics were never subtle.
Here's how a conventional data center stays alive. Heat from the chips is carried out of the server hall by a closed loop of coolant, which dumps it into a second, open loop — the cooling tower — where water is sprayed into moving air and deliberately allowed to evaporate. It's a spectacularly efficient way to move heat, the same trick your body uses when it sweats. It is also, by definition, consumptive: that water doesn't go back to the river. It goes into the sky. Depending on climate and tuning, this costs between 1 and 9 liters of water per kilowatt-hour of server energy. posted an update 2 months ago
Say it with me, AI is moving beyond the phone, AI is moving beyond the phone, AI is moving beyond the phone. The weight Apple is putting on this says it all. They're fighting for the next hardware market before it hits the market. Harder to say what it means for OpenAI's consumer trust.
