Ban these crappy centres. No one needs ai slop images.
Link to the study: Data Center Waste Heat as an Emerging Urban Thermal Hazard: First Field Measurements of Neighborhood-Scale Air Temperature Impacts by David J. Sailor, Soroush Samareh Abolhassani, Eli P. Martin.
Why not put them in cold places, like Alaska?
Heating up the neighbourhood is only one of the many issues with AI datacenters.
Plus, Alaska also has a summer season, and also experience an increasing number of heatwaves.
So the best solution to this is: don’t build new datacenters.
People near data centers in Arizona agree with your idea.
