      What’s going to be performing convection to dissipate heat from the radiator in a manner to support the heat generated by an AI data center?

        Obnoxious as he seems to be, he’s actually right, there will be no convection, but they’d radiate heat in a vacuum, by IR IIRC.

          You’d need an enormous radiator to move the heat a data center puts out. Not even all the billionaires put together could afford that.

          To do that they’d have to be filled with something other than something water based to be able to do that over a large area which would require constant maintenance to do so. It’s not easily feasible and I doubt people who want to do this or defend it realize that. I have to look it up but it takes Anhydrous Ammonia to perform that in the ISS. Like this is a bad idea and it fries my brain people trying to defend this.
