    Yes you can obviously use a closed loop system and scale up? it’s even becoming the standard? https://datacentremagazine.com/news/how-closed-loop-cooling-is-reshaping-data-centre-design

    That is a massive goalpost shift. You went from can’t do anything useful to couldn’t have discovered the problems in one step?

    Why does it even matter if it can’t discover the problems if it can solve them, exactly? And why could it solve the problems and not discover new ones?

      Closed loop isn’t viable for data centers.

      Do me a favor and quote my original text where I said they can’t do anything useful. I’ll wait.

        Closed loop isn’t cheaper for data centers.

        Ftfy. If it’s a penny more, which it is, corporations will do the less responsible “beholden to the shareholders” bullshit every time.

        It is derivative and cannot perform any necessary tasks that actually drive intelligence

        done.

        also, the closed loop point is just false read my article?

          How do you get “it isn’t useful” out of that? If you have to extract a wild interpretation out of what (I thought) were pretty clear words, your argument isn’t as strong as you think it is.

          And yes, I read the article. It’s speculative for existing data centers, which are the problem. There’s no incentive for them to spend the money to switch to closed loop.

          New data centers aren’t incentivized to go that route either aside from the environmental impact. It would be nice if they were, though.
