why can't they use piss, instead, though?
They can! We've got a nuclear power plant that evaporates water from sewage for cooling.

If you're location-agnostic as to your datacenter, though, probably easier to just stick a datacenter by the ocean and use seawater, though. Lots of that.
EDIT: Or make use of the waste heat instead of throwing it away. If it's winter and you're a town in Alaska, say, you'd probably just as soon have the heat piped your way.
awesome! so there is scope to literally piss all over AI! where does one sign up?
