Bubble or not, this is great!

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

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.

I triggered a containment breach, no need to thank me, Roko's Basilisk!

The noise in a server room is quite pleasant for me. It's loud, but in a soothing way I can't really describe.

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).

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.

Cool as hell!

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