It is typically assumed that by the time you are making a Dyson swarm, that most life exists digitally. And spread out through the solar system.
So in the best case scenario, you are powering computronium, upon which trillions of sophonts live out their digital lives. Hopefully doing some science, or at least playing some interesting games. A vast distributed network.
In the worst case scenario, Blockchain and spam emails.
Either way, people will put that energy to use.
With a Dyson swarm, energy is received on the inside, towards the star, and heat is radiated outward. Lower power systems can run off the heat radiation of the inner swarm similarly. It is all eventually released as very low level heat, but diffused across the entire outer surface of the swarm. No hotspots... because someone would come along and use it.
The Earth would also likely be deconstructed by this time, so don't worry about the biosphere, there won't be any.
