With the rise of generative AI, companies have significantly raised their water usage, sparking concerns about the sustainability of such practices.

        You’re taking salt from a large volume and putting it in a small area all at once. It kills the fish

        I guess if the plan was to sprinkle the salt over miles and miles of ocean, that could work. But that’s ridiculous to implement.

        Take a bunch of salty water

        Remove most of the water for other purposes

        You now have to dispose of the same amount of salt, but less water. It’s hypersalinated, and toxic as fuck.

          Yes but rain fall would mitigate this would it not?

            Unfortunately not. It’s actually a real problem
