Please do hang your datacenters in space so as not to piss away your waste heat in our rivers, soils or atmosphere.
Go to the bathroom upstairs, don't use our ecosystem as your latrines if you can direct it straight to the CMB.

We lived without aluminum soda cans for 100k years
1. humans use soda cans, that people could do without for 100k years
2. ???
3. Don't put datacenters into space?
"data centers use a lot of electricity we shouldn't do that"
"why?"
"computers are different"
people have been correctly indoctrinated about global warming and the dominant heating terms coming from excess CO2 concentration, but because of this over-emphasis they neglect the prompt heating that comes with nearly all energy generation mechanisms (from fossil fuels, to solar panels to nuclear energy).
when the whole world starts raising their living conditions, and when a computational race erupts, there is no taming of total human energy consumption.
but what we can do is offload the bulk of computational energy consumption, like training common goods such as LLM weights...
Oh no the burden of actually explaining why you want to de-emphasize a comment.
One single square meter of land in direct sunlight receives a constant 6kW (21MJ) of energy. The heat rejected by industrial and other processes is absolutely minuscule in comparison, a rounding error.
Comments that are incorrect but posted in an authoritative voice get downvoted, for good reason.
This is incorrect, at ground level its about 1 kW of sunlight per square meter if that square meter is orthogonal to the line of sight to the sun, otherwise it gets diminished with cos(theta) where theta is the angle between the line of sight to the sun and the normal of the square meter of land, it can not receive 6 kW no matter the orientation. And 6 kW is a power, while 21 MJ is an energy.

Indeed your incorrect comment in an authoritative voice might get downvoted, for good reason, but I won't be the one doing it...
Please don't interrupt the discussion to meta-discuss the scoring system.
but now you say I "interrupted" the back-then-non-existent discussion... whatever rsync, whatever...
