AI data centers explained - why they’re so massive, how much electricity they use, why they need so much water, and what all of it is actually for. In this soft-spoken ASMR conversation, Greg and I talk through the basics of data center size, power consumption, cooling systems, and water use.
We get into why these facilities need such heavy-duty air conditioning to stay running, where all that electricity actually goes, and why water plays such a big role in keeping them cool. We touch briefly on community pushback and AI near the end, but the real focus is the infrastructure itself - relaxing, no-frills conversation about how data centers actually work.
Thanks so much for watching!
