  • The math on this doesn’t really check out. The USA uses 322 billion gallons of fresh water per day. A hyperscale datacenter uses only 5 million gallons per day.

    There are about 1,000 hyperscale datacenters in the USA, so that comes out to 5 billion gallons of water every day.

    That’s 1.5% of our annual freshwater usage, half of which is in closed loop systems and not going anywhere, and the other half being returned to the atmosphere where it will rain back down as fresh water again.

    And of course, the water cycle doesn’t really care about national borders or annual evaporation rates so much, and there is about 1 quintillion gallons of liquid fresh water available worldwide, so its not like sequestering 5 million gallons really offsets the available freshwater needed for hydration and agriculture.

    You have fallen for the ultimate trick: wanting a “big” community.

    You only get that from big, centralized social networks that want to maximize the amount of content you are fed, because it maximizes your ad views, and their profits.

    Embrace the smallness. Lemmy still has room to grow, and having lot of different options for communication that aren’t all owned by billionaires is a good thing. The fact that it isn’t constantly trying to earn your attention is a feature, not a bug.










  • Doesn’t matter, that’s not what we are talking about here. You don’t have to use a face of a real child.

    Oh, you wanted to pretend it is? Cheating doesn’t work with me.

    Despite your shit attitude, AI nudification is, in fact, what we are talking about. It’s what the OP article is about. Actual children were exploited and harmed.

    You have decided to change the subject to “what if the child porn is 100% synthetic?”, which is a different thing than what everyone else has been talking about, but is fucked up just the same.

    When confronted with the near universal attitude that CSAM is morally reprehensible, you have decided to lash out in anger and act like nobody knows what you’re talking about.

    Don’t worry, we get it. You make fucked up pedo shit with Stable Diffusion on your gaming PC, and you get scared every time you see the very real consequences. You think you can change our minds about it by talking down to us, as if being against child pornography was a remotely controversial take.

    And you are downplaying the very real crime against very real children the OP article describes because you are compelled to defend your own disgusting habit.

    Seek help, and don’t fucking look at child porn. You’re doing irreparable damage to yourself. There are resources available to you: https://troubled-desire.com/
