Well this is interesting

Some of the 'this is what your datacentre will need to supply if you want to use our XYZ server' have been "you could heat a Roman bath house". One set was talking about gallons of water per minute per block(*) with an intake temperature of 4C and outtake temperature of 40+C. [* It wasn't clear in the short read I had was if this was per rack of servers or per server.. I am hoping it was per rack.] This seems to be one of those 'oh we don't look at those costs' which get hidden in AI uses X amount of electricity. There is a large amount of water needed to basically turn to outside steam at chiller plants plus other cooling technologies. Now instead of just pumping that water to the sky directly.. why not put a large neighborhood bath and steam house for the people who have to hear the fans 24x7
