    But usually you don’t cool your PC with Freshwater. That’s something a lot of datacenters do.

      That’s true.

      But in terms of power/emissions, data centers are far far better. The waste of potable water could be addressed if we make them, but the inefficiency of running locally cannot be.

      I still prefer to run locally anyways, because fuck the kind of people who are trying to sell AI, but it is absolutely more inherently wasteful
