OpenAI/Oracle PR blunder: "LESS WATER FOR NEW MEXICO" becomes an accidental confession
Expert-Cut-5791 · reddit · 2026-10-02
A Redditor spotted that data center PR material from Oracle or OpenAI apparently ran with the slogan "LESS WATER FOR NEW MEXICO" - presumably meant to tout water efficiency, but reading as a promise to give the state less water.
The poster mocks that nobody on the PR team caught it before publishing, and notes it reflects how sensitive data center water usage has become for big tech messaging.
