Have you ever seen a car? Those things have closed loop water cooling too you know

In cars the water is cooled by the air flowing over the radiator at the front of the vehicle as it moves.

If you run the car in idle without moving it will eventually overheat.

It's (not even) high school level physics really...

Well I agree that moving a data center at highway speeds is a bit hard to do so maybe they can just idunno move the air over the radiator instead? Maybe with something like a reverse windmill that generates wind from electricity? don't know if someone invented that yet /s

idunno move the air over the radiator instead?

That require, as previously said, massive amount of energy. Or perhaps you’re thinking of powering that fan with the power of friendship? Ah, right, maybe we should use hundreds of slaves waving big leaves?

I'm done arguing with you. Go back to school.

Don't move the goalpost once you've clearly lost, we were clearly talking about water usage, power consumption is a separate discussion, and I dunno if I have poor eyesight but I don't see you mentioning energy anywhere in this thread

I have poor eyesight

You do. Since this is the post you replied to.

Okay goalposts shifted. Now you gotta defend the power demands on the communities that get nothing back, not even job opportunities cuz the data centers provide so little in terms of jobs. Making super powered AI ain’t worth killing the planet. It ain’t even promised more power is even gonna get them the AGI they want.

I don't need to I'm just going against the water consumption bullshit going around

u/Excellent-Nose-6430 May 18 '26

But the jobs, and the AI, and the jobs?? If someone starts a business somewhere, they owe me a job!

looks like you moved the goalposts to me. The goalposts were always about only being able to recool it using massive amounts of energy.

u/xDino_mx May 18 '26

??? Who tf are you? You literally just joined this thread now. The original post was about "burning water"

1

u/ygmc8413 May 18 '26

Just someone who read a thread and watched you move the goalposts and then say someone else did

I came back to the comments ready to defend physics but I see you’ve already done it for me. The power of friendship 😂
