AI data centers coming to Millard County, Utah raise concerns around water use in the drought-stricken county
Researcher, Mya Garcia of Texas Tech University, estimates that a 100-word email generated by an AI chatbot requires a little more than one bottle of water.

CES 2026 spotlights NVIDIA Vera Rubin landing on Azure’s AI platform.
Years of co‑design and Fairwater upgrades mean Azure already supports Rubin’s power, cooling, NVLink‑6, HBM4/HBM4e, SOCAMM2 memory expansion and 1.6 Tb/s ConnectX‑9 networking — enabling ~50 PF NVFP4 per chip and ~3.6 EF per rack.
Integrated compute, storage, networking, orchestration and cooling enable faster deployment and scale for customers.

And we wonder why #AI #DataCenter construction is the #1 growth sector???
People are *literally* losing their minds in the rush to escape the #CognitiveDissonance machine that is life under #capitalist rule(s).
Why your power bill is spiking faster than a nearby #datacenter’s https://wapo.st/459vHyn
Muchísimas gracias @rafaelgrohmann por la invitación y el espacio para exponer nuestras miradas sobre toda la problemática en torno a la IA y especialmente a la IA generativa en cuanto a su impacto y afectaciones a nuestros trabajos y a nuestras vidas.

Fascinating - as in terrifying - world of powering #AI / #LLM data centers
I was hoping that one good outcome of the bubble would be rise of #greenenergy but the pace at which new data centers are built means they're largely powered by giant #gas generators. In the US there is estimated roughly 1 TW of load requests submitted to power the new data centers!! 230 GW in Texas alone!

The energy costs are rising. Because of datacenters for AI.
Think twice when you use AI.
We used to put a notice at the bottom of the email. Only print this if absolutely necessary.
Perhaps we should also issue notices like this about the use of AI.
