>According to market research firm Mordor Intelligence, nearly 1 trillion liters of water were consumed by AI data centers in 2025

I'm sorry, what? "Palantir" wasn't bad enough?

Anyway this is silly propaganda as usual. USA gets through over 300B gallons daily. Irrigation alone is over 100B of that. Most of that goes to corn for animal feed. You're not allowed to get all high and mighty about AI water use if you still eat meat.

What is the origin of this rule? What is the enforcement mechanism?

It's from KJV Vegans 2:11, Pauls Epistle to the Vegans, chapter 2, verse 11. Know your Bible, man!
