Thanks to Karen Hao's brilliant book Empire of Al, I learned that drinking water is the ONLY type of water can be used to cool data centers.

Not wastewater. Not salt water. Only drinking water.

We are sacrificing our DRINKING water, so depraved tech loons can try to build themselves a god.

Generative Al is a deathcult

They won't keep it, just pass it through. Most water in the US is recycled; your tap was supplied by someone else's iBM but they clean it up, inject it with chlorine and send it down the pipes.
