The first song for season 2 - The AI Gigawatt Thirst Trap

In our very first episode, we talked about electricity usage in the new class of gigawatt data centres. But we also wanted to talk about the other resource that is being slurped up by data centres...water. So, here's Season 2's song to go along with our first Season 2 episode. Hope you enjoy it. 

[Verse 1]
Got a warehouse full of brain cells
Thinkin’ fifteen moves ahead
But the smartest thing I’m learnin’
Is it really just wants to be fed
Not on likes or your attention
Not on gold or on a map
It’s droolin’ for a sprinkler system
Welcome to the AI thirst trap (hey!)

[Chorus]
So thirsty
Sippin’ on the coolant
Guzzle, chug, glug
Yeah, it’s overdo it
So thirsty
Can’t stop, won’t nap
Every drip drop drip
It’s an AI thirst trap
(so thirsty, so thirsty)

[Verse 2]
Little metal mind in a hoodie
Sweatin’ ones and zeros out
Somebody get this box a beverage
It’s about to short from the drought
Fans spin like tiny hurricanes
Still it needs that chilly tap
It’s beggin’ for a backstage water
What a diva of a data rack

[Chorus]
So thirsty
Sippin’ on the coolant
Guzzle, chug, glug
Yeah, it’s overdo it
So thirsty
Can’t stop, won’t nap
Every drip drop drip
It’s an AI thirst trap
(keep pourin’, keep pourin’)

[Bridge]
Ice pack server
Cold towel tower
It studies climate
Then takes a power shower
Smartest thing ever
Can’t read a map?
But it knows one word:
“Water…? Water…?” (slurp!)

[Chorus]
So thirsty
Sippin’ on the coolant
Guzzle, chug, glug
Yeah, it’s overdo it
So thirsty
Click, hum, clap
Every drip drop drip
It’s an AI thirst trap
So thirsty
Brain on tap
Baby that big smart box
Just a big ol’ thirst trap
