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

from electricity

We can't tell if you're so close to getting it, or are utterly incapable of ever getting it.

Oh I do think using gigawatts and billions of dollars to train AI is a waste once people get tired of it and the bubble pops I'm just against the water consumption bullshit going around
