Sam Altman Compares ChatGPT Queries to Almond Water Use

Sam Altman said in an interview that 38,000 ChatGPT queries use the same water as one almond grown in California. @TheChiefNerd posted a clip of the remark. @davidsven called water-waste concerns brainwashing. @rohanpaul_ai added that modern data centers no longer rely on evaporative cooling. Other accounts posted jokes, such as promising to eat fewer almonds for more queries or claiming one query per almond. The posts show the conversation around the clip but contain no independent confirmation of the water figure.
