TFA doesn't say where they are

"the 1,440W limit on wall outlets in California" is a pretty good hint.

San Francisco specifically:

"I prompted ChatGPT to give me recommendations. Prompt: ... The final build will be located at my residence in San Francisco, CA, ..."

Bringing back memories of testing the breakers in my college apartments to verify exactly which outlets were on which circuit, so I could pool as much as possible as needed. I distinctly remember pulling 20kw once, celebrating with a beer; the memory of all those cables snaking through the old apartment makes me almost uneasy now. I do remember we didn’t have to pay for heat that winter; which felt like a major win in Massachusetts. Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure there are still some servers tucked away in a crawlspace in that basement.
