The debate over AI energy and water consumption doesn't exist in a vacuum.
Hank's video, too, exists in a moment of protest. Working class communities are fighting against data center proposals in their small towns. Increased cost of living is a key argument of the protest.
To discuss AI water consumption without contextualizing the debate; without sharing who's affected if Hank is wrong, is a dishonest omission.
Hank makes no mention of any of this until the last 30 secs of a 24 min video.
