Government that’s going all in on “AI” urges you to delete old emails and pictures to save water. You couldn’t make this shit up. https://tech.lgbt/@Natasha_Jay/115016993942039602

@aral genuinely depressing and absolutely crazy. This would be at home on "the day today" show.

@aralFor what I know, a server use computational resources ONLY when receiving and transmitting emails, or when the user search them in order to delete. Not when emails are stored, this involve only storage space.A data center use computational resources(and thus water for cooling) only when scanning emails/images/video in order to process them (AI training, police/intelligence scanning.So the suggestion could become completely counterproductive.

@aral #TranslatedFromTheRepublican "Government is colluding with the fossil fuel industry to end any democracy acting on climate.Deleting emails prevents AI from picking up on that.Thwarts the lawsuits and FOI inquiries too."
