@sundogplanets Orbital AI datacenters?! What could possibly go wrong?

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social That sounds like the best mood to be in to give a good interview about "AI data centers"

And yes, the orbital AI datacenter thing is real, and 2 companies that I know of have already filed with the FCC for over a million satellites for this completely untested, fucking stupid idea. Fuck you, SpaceX, for one million satellites and using pseudo-religious language in your filing.

@sundogplanets Have a jump/abseil off the Skytower in Auckland, or a bungee jump and see if that will clear your head…
I did the Skytower in Auckland a long time ago - the adrenaline rush afterwards was insane.

@sundogplanets I’ve never been so terrified of anything in my life. I don’t do heights; and I did this to try and conquer my fear of them. At least I can now look out from a height without falling over, fainting or being sick.
They give you a GoPro to wear so you have a little video after - I’ve lost my video, unfortunately. But the adrenaline rush was INSANE. I can still feel it. -

AFAIK the only reason for this nonsense is avoid all the regulations and social unrest land based datacenters are getting more and more lately.
So I assume the real reason they want to create cities on the Moon and Mars is to avoid the regulations and social unrest they are getting about some island they used to frequent not so long ago.

@sundogplanets on the bright side, the engineering hurdles should be enough to prevent this from being put in practice for a reasonable time, shouldn't they?

I have to say that the proportion of media interviews and zoom meetings I do in my pajamas has gone up dramatically since I've arrived in New Zealand. Time zones are hard! #ProfSamLectureTour
