Ocean water is far more abundant than fresh drinking water. If they have to build them and they need water to cool them this seems better. Although definitely potential for issues like hurricanes / storms and environmental impact for starters. They seem desperate to roll out AI as fast as possible, consequences be damned, so they better start thinking outside the box. This technology isn’t more important than freshwater for life to survive.
They're so desperate they're putting it in the worst places. I've seen it replace the normal search bar on one website, and on another you would just randomly get an AI answer instead of regular search results about half the time.
Oh, so Google, the largest and most used website of all time?
Yeah, but imagine if the ai results were all you got instead of those in addition to search results.
There is also the added advantage that half of the world's population lives within 150 miles of the ocean, so finding personnel shouldn't be a problem.
