Why We Should Move AI Data Centers Into Space

Yeah, as already pointed out, dissipating all that heat in space is a major obstacle.

I think there's much more sense putting them in the sea, like MS experiment with Project Natick.

Won't that heat the ocean?

It would, right around data center's exhausts - but for 1 cubic km of static water to be heated additional 1 degree Celsius in a day you would apparently need ~50GW output, which is 50x of what currently largest data center is capable of consuming. And sea is not static water, so it gets spread out quickly. China has already started doing this.

Or you can build them under residential areas and use excess heat for heating (Finland is doing this).
