Comment on Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water!

A lot of the need is due to the heat density of the GPUs used for GenAI. Could they build less densely? Yes, and they likely already are but need to go further. I have seen data centers with racks less than half (I think it was closer to one quarter) populated for energy density issues.

Could they use sea water? Sea water causes more corrosion. (I am uncertain if this data center is close to the ocean.)
