  It’s nonsense, for cooling reasons alone

    yeah had a whole convo with a neighbor about how much cooling tech the ISS depends on.

    at least it won’t need separate water/ammonia loop setup like the ISS. radiators are pretty figured out. I just can’t see how they make it economical with all the launch and space logistics - and don’t get me wrong spacex can deliver to orbit - but can they make it profitable?

    also, where’s the grunt for this supposed AI cloud gonna come from? what chips can survive for 1000s of hours of compute in that environment? and from what he’s said (24/7 sunlight) are they thinking lagrange points or what? also xmit/receive of massive amounts of data would need to be crucial to making it work and we got none of that infrastructure…

    all leads me to think his ketamine is showing.
