A startup I worked at is building wave-powered data centers [1].

Huh. I thought the field had mostly soured on wave power due to the incredible engineering challenges. Cheaper+easier to do wind or solar. I guess you can slap “For AI” onto anything to overcome the economics.

They have a unique design where only a turbine moves with very cheap electricity produced.

AI inference gives them a great way to turn revenue from cheap electricity without solving the device-to-shore problem yet for that energy.
