It just exhausts into the room. The air conditioner’s job is to supply a continuous flow of cold refrigerant to the GPU cooler which it’s able to do at a very high rate. The AC’s fan has the job of keeping the compressor cool by blowing air across it. In this setup it’s just using the room air to cool the compressor and exhausting the warm air into the room. You could mount it in a window sill to blow that air outside if you want, though in winter time that’s a waste of heat.
how hot is that room going to get with hot air blasting out the back of that air conditioner, heat doesn't just go away, it has to be dissapated into the air, whatever room this setup is in will get really hot really quickly, there's a reason portable air conditioners have exaust hoses that have to be put into drop ceilings or windows, it's because ac's put out enormous amounts of hot air
