There’s this new thing called “boats”…
And data cables can (and do) run along the ocean floor, they don’t even need to connect to mainland, they can join an existing cable.
We needed them before AI and well need them after…
Finding an environmental positive way to have them is worthwhile. Arguing that it’s expensive literally just means you’re putting a price on our planet. Which is especially stupid since the billionaires are the ones keeping those savings.
Quit fucking simping for billionaire techbros. Even if you don’t realize it’s what you’re doing, it’s what you’re doing. Fuck their profits the planet matters more.
Yah sorry nobody serious is putting a data center on a floating boat/vessel. Maybe submerged, but not on the surface.
Jesus…
That’s honestly what you thought?!
I meant that geothermal vents are rarely on the shoreline anyways, and a bot is what’s needed, not coastal facilities.
I mean damn dude, you actually thought putting a fat center on a boat is what I was suggesting?

And they’re trying to put datacenters in space, too. On a boat would be less unusual.
