With artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly developing, countries are racing to keep up — and the United States is hoping to take the lead through Pax Silica.
Processing facilities for creating wafers for microprocessors would just need more electricity and some water at industrial levels, perhaps equivalent to what Taiwan uses for its semiconductor industry (yet they have some water supply problems than we do), but a AI data center will consume enormous amounts of electricity and water, which makes these unfeasible in this country.
That in any case, AI is being misused for capricious and unethical purposes, and its source data acquired without consent.

Or, let me turn it around on you …… most countries, I’m sure including the Philippines, would really benefit from a huge investment in power generation and infrastructure. Let’s get some of that huge pile of ai money to do that for us.
Think of it like the Olympics. While there’s a huge pile of money going toward single use items to put on a show, most places get some real beneficial development also. For example a recent Boston Olympics proposal included huge investments in transit, and in replacing athletic facilities at dozens of area colleges an universities
Even if we stop the data centers here, they will just build somewhere else and the money will be funneled there. I really want more foreign investments for our country. I believe we are in a good position with the water consumption because we receive a lot of rainfall.

i want to argue back… but man, account is just <1day old …
