"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I mean you totally could leave gunk all over your cooling equipment, and then just have to clean it. It would just cost more money.

Disclaimer: I have no knowledge of how these systems work. I'm basically just guessing

If the water is overly basic or acidic, and you concentrate it via evaporation, then you can damage the equipment at an accelerated pace. But even then, it's indeed a matter of money.
