I'm not in favor of megawatt data centers being used for mostly-bullshit AI in general, but as I said "if they're going to be built anyway", then they'll do less harm in the ocean than most other places.

(That's assuming they can avoid problems due to saltwater corrosion.)

Ok, how will they be less harmful, seeing as you’re so insistent on that premise.
