Why aren't they constructing these AI datacenters by the coast? You have endless water for cooling? inb4 you can't utilize seawater for cooling Alright, develop systems that allow you to.
>t. nigger
Because flyover land is dirt cheap and you don't have to deal with flooding or bad weather
>>108791413You can't just pump salt water into systems like this dude.
nimbys in the coastal states would sue you and tie you up in the courts for decades because they'll claim your constant water cycling will destroy wildlife or whatever
I imagine climate-wise the effects are much more straightforward since you will overheat a lot of the water by the coast and kill everything living there
Why don't we just build all the roads at the coast so it goes around the whole country?
>>108791453You'd do something similar to how nuclear power plants use sea water for cooling.
>>108791481But is it energy effective ? Most of those datacenters already have problem with energy consumption. Solution would be to have actually a nuclear powerplant to make electricity for them and also produce a water if it can do what you said.
fax sister. we should move our entire economy towards building and maintaining data centers and nuclear powerplants. Throw all normies into mining while ai does all the easy and intellectual work.
datacenter uses significantly less water than a farm of equivalent surface areadatacenters are more useful than most consumer tech and servicesno one seems to be complaining about all the water use from watching reels and tiktoks, or shitty videogamesgrow up
>>108791519this. data centers are more useful to humanity than farming. The goyim should know their place and work for ai instead for bug snack bars.
>>108791494You don't use the sea water directly.You have your closed loop of clean water (or another fluid), and use a heat exchanger to move the heat into the sea water loop that you discharge.
>>108791519You can't farm FOOD near the coast, mr mentally ill chimp. You can't eat LLMs or generative AI slop.You can definitely build those centers there easily, and offset the water usage.
>>108791519>datacenter uses significantly less water than a farm of equivalent surface areaYes, but farms usually don't use water from the same sources as data centers. Generally the water they use doesn't come from catchments and reservoirs that are feeding city water supplies.This isn't true for all farms and areas, of course.
>>108791533learn to read you stupid fucking faggot>>108791526hello you stupid fuck, go kill every member of your family that bought a new phone or some fast fashion recently>>108791547the water use is a non-issuethe gas generator build out has far bigger impactand it still doesn't fucking matterthere are a million trivialities that no one gives a shit about that use just as many resourcesthis bullshit is just more culture war psyop shituse your fucking brains
>>108791668>water usage and waste is just culture war psyopFuck off nigger.
>>108791681shut up you fucking hippieactually, post pictures of the labels on the clothes you're wearing, tree-huggeryou don't really give a shit about thisyou're just a fucking golem being steered from one issue to the next like a good little dog
>>108791668>the water use is a non-issueIt depends.Some places they're building data centers have plenty of water.Other places are fucking deserts.I'm not going to sit here and say "every data center bad because water" but they're busy building them wherever they can get permits including places that don't have great water supplies or water security because it's more about building as many as they can.
You can cool nuclear reactors with seawater, can't you?
>>108791453>what is a heat exchanger
who cares?
>>108791730Damn, the ocean water really cleaned up that thing nicely.
>>108791413Corrosion is hard to deal with. Mighty AI would just succumb to the elements in no time. You can use materials much more resilient / immune to chlorine based corrosion, but that's honestly not remotely worth the effort. Specialists for such engineering tasks have more than enough work with more important projects, a single coast line datacenter build with maritime engineering standards might very well cost >400 billion USD.
electricity
>>108791474>Climate hoax
>>108791413>WhyMoney. If they can make it for cheaper somewhere else, they will and they do.
>>108792443>water gets too hot>fish die
>>108791792>what is a heat exchangerYo momma
>>108791413>develop systems that allow you toToo expensive, stealing drinking water from people and making them pay for it is cheaper, faster, more convenient.
>>108791468>water cyclingIs this what you imagine is going on at these data centers?
>>108791519sorry schlomo but i dont consider depleting everyones well water so you can kill us with drones to be more useful than farms
>>108792494do it in the Arctic then
>>108791519>datacenter uses significantly less water than a farm of equivalent surface areaDifference being, farms produce food. Datacenters produce nothing.>datacenters are more useful than most consumer tech and servicesThey're not useful at all, they're a drain on resources.>no one seems to be complaining about all the water use from watching reels and tiktoks, or shitty videogamesYou don't understand how personal computers work.>grow upStop screaming for attention, fatboy. Go wash your ass.
Yeah let me put salt water near any system or heat exchanger, that really work without breaking everything it touch
>>108792709>Datacenters produce nothingkek do you think 4chan lives on some guy basement on a mac mini cluster or something?Any app that need internet to work for that matter
>>108792720>kek do you think 4chan lives on some guy basement on a mac mini cluster or something?This place is completely worthless, the world would be a better place if it shut down tomorrow.>El kekkoOh no, it's some obese spic from /pol/ sharing his opinion.
>>108792720>4chan lives on some guy basement on a mac mini clusterIt did up until last year.
>>108792709>Difference being, farms produce foodFor who? 25% of our farming goes overseas. Why are we even feeding shitskins anyway? Is that what we're subsidizing farmers for? To feed muslims and africans who would literally kill us the first chance they get?
>>108792734>he doesn't know>>108792731The truth is you couldn't go a single day without using any site/app/game that depends on a datacenter to work, try it.>El no argumentolmao! Anyone can put an o to any word
>>108792709>farms produce foodVery little of the crops produced in the US actually go to feeding us. IIRC most if it goes to feeding things we eat and maybe ethanol.If it was actually food that was going straight to us, we'd have a massive overabundance
>>108791413Datacenters shouldn't be necessary because AI shouldn't exist.
because the air also has a significantly higher salt content, leading to more corrosion.
>>108792709>You don't understand how personal computers work.do you fucking think instagram and tiktok are peer to peer networks you fucking idiot?
>>108791453put it by the great lakes in michigan then
