Why put data centers at sea?

The second biggest blocker is that sea water destroys everything it touches. The first biggest blocker is that Starmind will be coming online soon, and space provides free power and cooling.

Good hair day

People have talked about this for inference compute. But it would be harder for training since bandwidth would be harder to come by. Starlink might be a solution once v3 upgrades are in place. Repair and maintenance is the other big issue.

power cooling and tax advantages usually drive these offgrid ideas

Off topic but love the curls!

thank you!

Nice hairdo

Don't lol

Emma you look gorgeus 😍

stop tempting me with your witchcraft!

Ok Kim Kardashev, we seeing your hair 😏

Also NYC sirens in the background 👑

Cool!

I'm not sure you'll save much: you still need a grid connection to keep the machines running when there's little wind for days and your batteries run empty. Cool, but I don't see this becoming the standard anytime soon...

This is a much better solution. The majority of the sea is pretty much empty. If we can put Internet cables going across the entire Atlantic Ocean, data centers should be the same.

offtopic but love the hair

I just want to kiss you

nice breakdown

Love the hair

Will it kill fish 😭 and hurt the whales ears

I’m sort of on the data centers in space train with Google lowk

very rational, good point

That's interesting and all, but you got new hair! 💁🏼‍♀️

It's good to see from another perspective, though the biggest challenge or disadvantage is the ecological disruption it will cause.
