Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Alt Text: The cartoon illustrates the problem of water use in the AI age: a farmer's child and his mother are pumping a little water from a well for their daily use. Two knights in armor, transporting a large, spherical water container on wheels, come by and say, "The King wishes to make more avatars of himself as a Ghibli character."
In the background, a castle sits enthroned on a hill. The cartoon illustrates the excessive water consumption required for AI model queries.

Who said anything about the U.S? The discussion is about AI data centers using water which is harmful for the environment. I used Proton as an example because while they aren't primarily an AI company, they are very eco friendly, and they happen to run their own generative AI service.

Nobody specified that this is a region-specific issue. You brought it up, so don't make me look like the idiot.

You’re cherry picking and I think you’re aware of that, given you only use Proton as an example.

What they’re claiming isn’t false and it’s a good reflection of what’s happening globally.

Don’t be ridiculous. Who trained your model?

"Don't be ridiculous. Who trained your model?"

I don't entertain conversations where i'm being talked down to. If you want to try again with respect, let me know. Otherwise, we're done here.

respect is reciprocal and demands honest dialogue between people.

you ignored that requirement when you specifically attempted to move the goal from "AI data centers" to just "data centers". you didn't stop there either, you then attempted to gaslight everyone into thinking that this was acceptable. surprise, it's not.

you get what you give, and you gave bullshit. time to settle your tab and eat your bullshit.
