Fine, fine: get rid of golf courses too.

As for food production; that might be important? IDK, I am not a silicon "intelligence" so what do I know? Also, I have to "eat". Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if we can just replace ourselves, so that agriculture is unnecessary, and we can devote all that water to AGI.

TIL that the true arc of humanity is to replace itself!

Given the difference in water usage, more data centers does not mean less water for agriculture in any meaningful way.

If you genuinely want to save water you should celebrate any time an acre of farm land is converted into an acre of data center - all the more water for the other farms!
