Went to get some laundry services and called the number. I was leery as I am in Toronto area and number was Nova Scotia.

A male sounding person answered and I started posing questions about laundry services they offered. This guy was the politest person I had heard in over a decade. Concise but vague. I thought it was VOIP delay as there was a 3-5 second pause for him to reply but realized that it was too consistent. It was a fucking AI attendant talking at me. I said stick your AI, I will not be using your services and hung up.

Grrrrr me want human.

As we know, people are stupid and they won’t manage their city/ county whatever’s utility management.

Well thats up to you. I interact with my water co-op yearly at our annual meetings of operations and budgets. This is how I have all this info on Data Center water usage. We have two DCs being built in our co-op coverage territory as we speak. One is a regional colo provider "closed loop" system and uses only marginally more water than an office building of cube farms. The other is an AWS datacenter that is going "open loop" and wants the most water at the worst time (hottest time) of the year. We're putting the the screws to them and charging them out the yang for it. Its going to pay for additional water infrastructure elsewhere to serve more of the co-op customers and allow us to build an expensive pipeline from one end of the service area to the other.

So I guess it would be more beneficial to keep that in mind and not do the AI crap or are people going to magically become smart?

Make sure you don't use crypto either then. Its been a larger offender of electricity and water waste than AI has yet.

It’s up to me? I am not in control of every single city or county especially in the states. More than 60% of the states do not even have basic reading skills. Sure they will do it right /s. Now your just being silly. Never used crypto, never will. Have a good one.

It’s up to me?

Your actions are up to you, yes. Whether you choose to interact or not in your water utilities or regulation boards is up to you.

I am not in control of every single city or county especially in the states. More than 60% of the states do not even have basic reading skills. Now you just being silly.

Getting involved and taking action locally is silly? I have no idea what your literacy comment has to do with anything we're talking about.

Have a good one.

Thanks, you too. If you'd like to join me at my co-op annual water meeting, its in July. Hit me up and we'll go together. If you were a member, you could even run for the board yourself and directly affect water policy in the county. You won't be able to vote for board members because you're not a member of the co-op like I am, but you can see how it works and where we have a voice.

Sure I can get involved locally I am talking about the dumb and corrupt govts that will continue to mismanage that are 1000’s of km away from you and me. Neither of us can control them.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Neither of us can control them.

Why do we need to? Those are the responsibility of those residents.
