Shout out to the dude in Manchester who has decided to try to cash in on the GenAI boom and then shit the bed when journalists tried to fact check anything.

Is Chris Kenna Manchester’s first AI billionaire in the making — or a serial fantasist?

He’s been feted by the press as a tech pioneer. But we can’t find his data centres

@GossiTheDog I mean given sufficient power supply modern DC's can be closed circuit for water and don't actually need monumental amounts of water. Still stinks of green washing tho obvs

@Landwomble @GossiTheDog modern data centers use evaporative cooling to cool down the radiators. Closed circuit is simply not enough to provide adequate cooling when energy densities reach hundreds of kilowatts per rack. These numbers are far beyond the imagination in generic telco data centers, yet a reality in HPC and AI.
