Nah, that need dat water to cool the AI for the light.
Linus was ahead of the game on this one. Nvidia should start building data centers next to public pools. Cool the systems and warm the pools.
I've seen a video of at least one spa that does that. They mine bitcoin on rigs immersed in mineral oil, with a heat exchanger to the spa's water system. I'm struggling to imagine that's enough heat, especially piped a distance through the building, to run several hot tubs, and I'm kind of dubious about that particular load, but hey.
A large data centre can use over 100 MW at the high end. Certainly enough to power a swimming pool or three. In fact swimming pools are normally measured in kW not MW.
"A large data centre" this wasn't. I saw a couple washing machine-sized vats of oil-soaked computers.

If all it's running is a hot tub that sounds reasonable. This bitcoin miner uses over 3kW: https://www.aozhiminer.com/showroom/high-profit-110th-95th-bitmain-antminer-s19-pro-s19-bitcoin-miner-with-power-supply.html
