‘We didn’t vote for ChatGPT’: Swedish PM under fire for using AI in role

The Swedish prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, has come under fire after admitting that he regularly consults AI tools for a second opinion in his role running the country.
Kristersson, whose Moderate party leads Sweden’s centre-right coalition government, said he used tools including ChatGPT and the French service LeChat. His colleagues also used AI in their daily work, he said.
The water issue alone, for these data centers, should be shut down worthy. I read an article yesterday regarding aquifer depletion, globally, due to mining interests, globally.
People in Texas, living near data centers, already experience dry taps or reduced water pressure throughout their days.
This goes way beyond annoyance and we can see here where political motivation sits with it.
I wonder if sea water could be used instead of fresh water.
It's all about cost. They don't have to use evaporation to cool. Sea water would likely increase costs, so no. They'd use the cheapest option until it's no longer available. Either due to depletion or due to regulation.
I’m fairly certain the Green Mountain facility in Norway uses frigid fjord water to cool their center. So, it can be done. I’m not sure where the facility in Texas is located though. I’m guessing in a water-poor area nowhere near the coast.
It is possible and is used in some areas, but it is more expensive and more technically challenging. As others have pointed out, capitalism will use the cheapest resources until they run out.
It could, but then they would have to spend money on desalination.
