    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.

      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.
