🌊 AI is making waves

AI companies spent years vacuuming up land, power and water. Now they’re skipping the middleman and moving directly into the ocean.

The Peter Thiel-backed Panthalassa raised $140 million to build floating AI data centers that generate power from ocean waves. Massive buoy-like spheres rise and fall with the water, producing electricity while the surrounding sea handles cooling for the servers inside.

Think of it as a giant mechanical duck whose sole purpose is helping a chatbot write your email without being too mean.
