The staff sporadically saying "AI!" is a very nice touch. I found myself trying to get as many servers and load as possible but having the temperature stay stable. This is a neat little game, in a way (though it seems to auto-stabilize too easily).
Edit: Oh, there was a containment breach. My bad, humanity...
I cannot imagine how the people who live close to this type of nonsense feel, though, it must be horrible.

They are not that loud from outside, at least the normal ones. We have office a block away from one, you don't really hear it over city noise.
Tho it is normal datacenter and not AI one with some turbines jerry-rigged together to power it...
Also the sounds are entirely fake and not related to actual DC

I'm basing this mostly on the segments that were done on how people in rural areas (generally quieter) were experiencing all kinds of issues from living too close to data centers.

This is fun. Artsy, poignant, narrative. It reminds me of the fun internet, like in 2001.

This is the kind of thing that looks simple until you're three layers deep in edge cases.

Everything other than “staffing” is amazing. “Staffing” needs to be more sentient.

Bubble or not, this is great!

Honestly only 100 servers are multiple of orders of magnitude louder than this.
I can't even hear myself think in a normal datacenter with 20 racks; if a bunch of them are starting up or are fully loaded then: no chance.
I don't think servers are quieter with GPUs in them.

this is genuinely lovely to work to. Something about the hum of servers is oddly motivating

some of those fans need to be replaced, sounds like a lot of bearings going

A master volume control would be nice (only because my browser doesn't have per-tab controls).
It's only a guess that we're biologically primed to find it more comfortable, but I think it's a pretty good guess.
