For 100kW? I’m not going to try and figure things out from that massive site.

100kW? Nvidia BGX 200 servers are 14kW each, not counting the interconnect, or anything else. According to nuggets I’ve read online, we’re talking 200 megawatts for an Earth-based AI datacenter these days, without something exotic like underclocked Cerebras WSEs Plugging 200 megawatts into this: www.calctool.org/…/stefan-boltzmann-law I get about 0.46 square kilometers, depending on the coolant temperature and ultimate efficiency of the system. I have no clue what the construction of such a monstrosity would look like, but if it was a simple 0.5 inch aluminum sheet, it would weigh like 15,000 metric tons.
