Are you a bot? Or just a paid shill? You can just do a miniscule amount of searching to find closed loop systems are extremely rare in America due to the costs. Its much easier to just steal and polute potable water

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.
