If it kills pollinators and damages the surrounding ecosystem...wouldn't it also affect sea life?

I could see it heating up water.



i wonder if AI would get seasick.


what if you had an AI computer at sea for six months, and bourhgt it back to dry land. Would it be like "Whoa! I can't walk, everything is moving."

I am all for putting them in space. Will they reclaim the sites like O&G and mining companies are forced to do?

We need to be doing brownfield development for industry and residential. That and requiring green space minimums for greenfield.

Older industrial facilities are in fact being converted. You can see how many already exist in urban areas: Data Center Map

The anti-everything folks still complain though. An old Budweiser bottling facility in the Houston area is planned to become an Elon center, and the Anti's are complaining that will "emit heat."

We could tear down a bunch of government agencies and use that land for them.

IRS, Federal Reserve, DOE, Welfare, etc.

Then by default the data centers would be improving the quality of life for all Americans.
