From massive water consumption to strain on the local power grid, communities are mobilizing to stop the 'server farm' invasion. In this documentary, we explore the
As the AI revolution accelerates, the physical infrastructure supporting it is hitting a wall—literally. Modern chips run so hot that traditional air cooling can no longer keep up, forcing a massive, expensive, and controversial shift toward liquid cooling. In this documentary, we explore the engine
