This week we go deep on the story nobody in Big Tech wants you to connect: AI is draining the planet's water, burning fossil fuels to keep up, and the people most affected had no say in any of it.

We cover:

  • The UN University report that put a number on AI's water crisis — and what evaporative cooling actually means for the communities living next to data centers

  • The Gen Z values gap: 79% care about sustainability, only 35% will pay extra for it — and why that's not hypocrisy, it's a broken system

  • Plus: we're asking you what we should do about the water.
