They also talk about evolution when they keep deploying the same tweaked architecture.

They’re also talking about data centers in space, while being too cheap to use anything but evaporative cooling + gas generators on Earth.

I did some math on, say, launch costs for an Earth-data center sized installation, or the area needed to radiatively cool it, and it is fun. Those space construction startups know what they’re doing. They’re playing billionaires for fools; and it’s working.

They’re selling billionaires a bridge to nowhere; and it’s working.

Guess I should have gone CHA instead of INT.
I might have gotten some of that billionaire money to buy more RAM.

Look, I’m not saying it’s a good thing. In fact, it would be an insanely wasteful use of resources, labor, energy, etc.

That said, folks are all about “eat the rich” and this may very well be the closest thing to that.

  “Scam the rich,” perhaps?
