Perhaps unplanned but no unpredicted

It’s Fallout 1 all over again.
Oh wow, you mean the obvious problem obviously cropped up?
But all the pro-AI people told us this wouldn’t happen!
Maybe its unplanned and unanticipated by the governments (local, state, whatever) but the *companies* certainly predicted this. They know what they’re building and how much cooling they need. The plan here, the long-con, is that they absolutely want nothing to do with footing the bill for any more resources than absolutely necessary. Taxing our power nearly for free and sucking up the water is part of the deal and the more they build before we can reconcile with that issue the more it becomes *our* problem and not *theirs.* So if anything believe that leadership might not have seen this coming but the corporations absolutely did. Now its *our* problem to fix.
Two words: Closed Loop.
the water wars will be fought over AI datacenters.
When you knowingly build a castle on a swamp, and then the said castle sinks into the swamp, it’s really odd to describe it an “unplanned” event of all things.
Unplanned FOR. It was obviously going to happen.
i think you meant bubble not boom
Oh, for crying out loud is this why he wants Greenland? So they can make it the data center capital of the world? You can’t make this shit up you just know Elon is whispering us into his ear.
I literally want to run for president on the platform of banning AI and AI investment.
Might be about to run into and unplanned Jerome Powell investigation too.
BIG night of waiting for market open ahead of us.
“Preventable”
They literally don’t care. They will steal every last drop of water and every crumb off a working class person’s plate if it means they get just one more dime to enjoy for themselves. The true definition of greed
Nah, we’re just completing the cycle back (like with jeans). Dielectric fluids to cool em.
Maybe hiring knowledgeable humans is the cheaper option. Who would have thought.
> Zoning boards weigh short‑term tax revenue against long‑term strain on local resources, often without access to detailed, long‑range water‑consumption forecasts
Short term profits over long term sustainability is the source of the majority of all modern problems
And this is neither unplanned nor unpredicted
