Imagine not having obese AI fart videos because you want a shower?

So assuming the datacenter uses the water for cooling, what happens to the water? Does it just get released as steam?

Can't they just use seawater or use air cooling?

A lot of the need is due to the heat density of the GPUs used for GenAI. Could they build less densely? Yes, and they likely already are but need to go further. I have seen data centers with racks less than half (I think it was closer to one quarter) populated for energy density issues.

Could they use sea water? Sea water causes more corrosion. (I am uncertain if this data center is close to the ocean.)

Stinky teens need shirts that point the blame at Microsoft. Get ripe and hang out with old people.

Yes that's what Americans voted for.

LOL! The Red Run Deregulated Texas Oblast does not surprise me with this kind of shit. If it dries up, the fucking red voters can stay and find the fuck out.
