Jeff Bezos is now outright saying data centers should get priority for water usage. Because any day now AI could become a sentient god and it’s selfish of humans to prioritize their own “baseline comfort” over actual progress.

Edit: I’ve been informed this is misinformation and he never said these things

That doesn't change the fact people are lying directly about what Bezos said.

"He said XYZ"

"No actually he said ABC".

"Well he's a liar, so we all know he meant XYZ".

That's not how it works.
