 I think a multi-story data center in a spar, like a deep water oil rig.  Stabilizing power could be available from land since it would need to deliver power to land.   The Morro bay surface water temperature is between 52 to 64F.

 I wonder:

Can you spin any large weight fast enough to get some gyroscopic stabilization over orientation?

I think about the large gangly designs that are favored for horizontal axis-of-rotation windmills, and think they will not respond nicely to twisting deformations.  It is one thing to put anchors in like guywires to keep the location fixed.  But depending on how high they want to reach, orientation is another matter, and underwater currents are not helpful for orientation if you are trying to tie something to a fixed surface location.  The length of cable used for large, laterally-extended moorings will probably admit some considerable flexibility.

More likely they will just use sensors and active controls, using some of the power to run propellers to real-time noise-cancel water-current effects.  As long as the computer doesn’t fail, you’re good.

When we did ocean engineering in Texas, I learned what a hostile environment seawater is to _everything_ except maybe fish.  Thinking about aging and Arecibo.

Way offshore in some cases, but also deep.   Maybe the underwater mass could help hold the platform in place?

The moon idea reminds me of this center:

Bandwidth might be a problem. But the dark side of the moon seems like an option ... assuming you can negotiate with the aliens that live over there. The best thing about coral is you don't have to negotiate for their "land". You can just take it and let them die like the stupid little creatures they are.

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..

> In the Gaza kerfuffle, I've heard some describe coerced displacement as "genocide". I guess the more reasonble term is ethnic cleansing. 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.
