I hope the engineers who weaponize space realize they're destroying any hope for the future.
I think the engineers working on "AI datacenters… in spaaaaaace!" largely realize it's never really gonna happen.
Oh there will be something up there that they call a datacenter. It doesn't have to actually work for them to point at it and say "the data is up there and therefore is not subject to whatever regional regulation you're hassling me about."
It's a bit like how one guy bought alpaca socks on the silk road and thousands pointed to those socks and said "see, it's not for crime."
Starlink is conspicuously absent.
But don't worry guys, AI space data centers are coming, and we'll...uhhh...come up with something before then!
The push to do GPUs / AI in orbit is mainly to chase Department of War dollars for the Golden Dome program.
