The most over leveraged people just found out that modern technology requires energy. No energy = no technology. They came up with a dumb way to waste energy right before an energy crisis. Good job. Have fun recycling all your special AI chips, dumdums.

finance bros suddenly discovering the laws of physics: 😮
You'd think with budgets of billions, they could afford to build them near lakes/rivers in sunny areas, and do their own cooling and solar. But apparently that major component of a datacenter design - cooling and power - is rarely taken into account.
They could, but that would mean water treatment before being used (money their profit-driven asses refuse to spend). It's why they always go for drinkable aquifers: the water is already high-quality, and fuck everybody who needs it to live!
How is it these educated people don't know how anything works?
Oh no, anyways.
