There's a startup trying to build data centers in the ocean.
And it's INCREDIBLY fascinating:
Mass consumption of electricity and water is a growing bottleneck for data centers.
So by moving offshore, it eliminates both problems -- the ocean provides unlimited cooling, and the waves provide unlimited power.
There are also no engines, so the data centers drive themselves to their destination by using the shape of their hull to propel through waves.
Called Panthalassa.
