Sarcastic thread: those slamming AI's water and power use built the infrastructure themselves
round · x · 2026-09-10
A satirical long post mocking critics who condemn AI companies for water tables and electricity bills: a database engineer optimizing tables of private data, an SRE proud of keeping ten-thousand-strong server fleets delivering 'mind-poison', and one of 8,000 PMs at yet another social network warping users' minds — all crying 'How could these AI companies do this?', quoting Rob Pike. A cynical圈内 take on AI energy criticism.
Note: summary contains one Chinese phrase inadvertently; the English summary mirrors the Chinese one: a cynical insider jab at AI energy criticism.
