Water distribution in 2050: Datacenters get most water while humans get scraps

This is a satirical collage meme commenting on future resource allocation. At the top, the text reads 'Water distribution in 2050'. On the left side, a gaunt, emaciated cartoon human labeled 'Humans' sits on dry, parched ground, desperately opening their mouth to catch only two small drops of water dripping from a large pipe. On the right side, the full massive flow of water from the same pipe goes directly to a large real-life datacenter labeled 'Datacenter'. The original post title adds an additional layer of dark humor, joking that the only positive side of this scenario is that people will get access to advanced GPT 20 AI from these resource-heavy datacenters as consolation for lack of basic resources like water.
