They need to build this crap in the arctic zone. Unless distance regarding data transfer rates causes issues.

Our CEO wants me to add AI to our website, but in my research, the cost would be pretty significant and we have no budget for it, so I'm looking for cheaper alternatives.

Ideas on who I should invest in to make money off of this?


Peyton Manning couldnt get into the weed game in Colorado so he bought damn near every papa johns he could.

Same thing applies here. If you could make money training folks (like current master or journeyman plumbers in the residential space or mechanical ones that are apprentices currently) on how to lay out the cooling systems for buildings like this i suspect you will make bank.

inb4 thats what the design docs are for. Yeah. Great. its on paper. Now go install it. much different. Trust me, i know.

Ding, ding, ding. Local 602 Steamfitters does almost 100% of the data center builds in Virginia which is a shitload of data centers under construction.

All that's going to be left are lawyers, AI babysitters and some of the trades?

Boy, I can’t wait to see how Entergy does supplying all that power to the Meta DC in Richland. I have a feeling the consumers in Louisiana are about to get fricked over in ways never imagined.

My understanding was just water but other coolants and refrigerants can't be far off. When you see the current scale of the cooling, you will realize it ain't plumbers you need it is boilermakers and pipefitters.

From what I’ve heard, they’re using 10s of millions gallons/day. I really have no idea why they wouldn’t use some sort of closed loop refrigerant system or even build a co-gen unit to help supplement the power requirements. It’s a crazy amount of water. Unfortunately, most of the ag wells in the surrounding area are pulling from the same aquifer. If their wells start having trouble producing, it’s going to start a massive shite show.

I just left oil and gas and hopped into construction and my first project is a Datacenter(s). They push these projects crazy fast and maintenance after is constant.

Does that mean my virtual self now identifies as a gay?

I'm going to need virtual counseling from the virtual clinic that will ulitmately tell me I need to transition to a virtual non-binary, hederosexual, trannie who identifies as a virtual rabbit.

Is it a large start up cost or large ongoing expense? If it’s just the initial cost then buy once cry once. Don’t want to get left behind.
