[FRIAM] death by ubiquity

[David Eric Smith]

I’m beginning to see a design.

Put underwater data centers in shallow-water sites off the coast of FLA that already hit 100F in the summer.  Those are already going to be dead of anything, kind of like radioactive waste dump sites.

Those sites then become magnets for hurricanes, which can all be amplified to Category 5 in their late stages, no matter how they started out.  Hurricanes are very efficient conveyors of heat from the ocean to the top of the atmosphere where it can radiate into space.  This cooling mechanism will of course be episodic, but with enough frequency and strength, one could compute what the average transport would be, and the fluctuation statistics.

If one is going to destroy the atmosphere to play computer games, at least make use of its mechanisms at their full scale.

I think that could be improved a lot.   Without superconducting processors, I don't see how energy use can be dramatically reduced though.  For that there will just need to be new generation.    Could put these near large off short windfarms..

The settlers seem mostly fine with their ethnic cleansing agenda. But, by analogy, how would we describe the coercive adaptation put upon a region by a massive water-sucking data center? Biology cleansing? If there really were an AI, would they worry about the forced displacement caused by their silicon incubators? ... or maybe "incubator" isn't a good word. How about "galls": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gall Yeah, that might be a good analogy. The machines are parasitic. They hijack the iDNA (information generators) of the local biology to form galls within which they grow and thrive.
