There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

    My opinion and thoughts: dunking on idiots online brings me joy.

    So I guess the last one I suppose. If I just had to pick one.

      You really don’t seem particularly bright. So I did the math, just to double check.

      A 1 gigawatt datacenter radiating at 100C would need a square kilometer in radiator surface area to sufficiently reject/emit the heat.

      But then you need energy. With solar panels you’d need 2-3 sq km to sustain 1 GW.

      So… The math checks out. I don’t understand your arguments from ignorance.

      They honestly come off as that sophomore in college that had a single class on something so are going around talking about it smugly. They complain about zero effort shit posts when they do the same thing.
