Could we put underwater data centers there to reheat the waters?

is fascinating that a software developer can have such a lack of awareness of the relative size of things

Why? Software developers aren't some superhumans, we're generally very bad at things outside our immediate area of expertise. Just like everyone else

ah the "boil the oceans" strat. Interesting play.

I don’t think we could boil the oceans or even affect their temperature much even if we put every data center on Earth into the oceans and multiplied their amount by 10. Earth is really, really big.
