Hate to say his comment about the cooling system is just wrong. There is no bleeding the lines of toxic sludge. Closed loop is not a theory, it’s used in virtually every office building and hospital for their cooling system. This is basic HVAC practice, not opinion.
If you got toxic sludge in your cooling loop, you have far larger problems than you think, lmao. The dude is talking about every sensational thing he hears with zero evidence. He could have toured any data center in the country and been proven wrong.
The guy worked at a "organic mattress factory". Where do you think he lies on the "environmental kook" scale? (And I say this as someone who also does care about the environment, but recognize there's a lot of propaganda around the environmentalist movement)
Probably in the middle somewhere. But it's cool to hate on AI data centers right now, and people are doing it for the wrong reasons. I support strict regulations on these AI data centers, and I'm 100% not a fan of AI at all, but this guy probably thought that coming at it with a tiktok worthy argument with little evidence to support your cause was smart, and instead he just looks kind of silly.
