I remember reading one of those Less Wrong-ite "dangers of AI" stories where it's mentioned that nobody can stop the AI superintelligence because it keeps its servers and cores dozens of kilometers underground.
Dozens of kilometers.
Underground.
Evidently the author had never heard of the geothermal gradient. Server racks generate so much waste heat that they have to be put in rooms specifically designed to maintain high airflow to keep the entire room from cooking. Imagine trying to keep that shit cooled when it's so far underground that the ambient temperatures melt lead, to say nothing of how much work it would be to actually excavate all that. The Kola Borehole only goes 12km down and that took decades to dig.
