No, plumbers needed to help divert the worlds drinking water to cool servers.
Yep. And then everyone dies from the water shortages and the world population consists of a handful of billionaires surrounded by a vast dystopian landscape of data centres running AI for them… to do what, exactly? No one knows. But they want it!
Weird, because you could convert the cooling to distillation and make drinking water. But, as is tradition, suffering is the point.
Of they're willing to pay for radiators for cooling with datacenters in space, they can just as well pay for radiators on Earth. They work better with air and not water needed al all.
