Ironiquement, j'entends beaucoup de discussions spécialisées ces derniers temps sur ce que pourrait être une architecture intéressante pour des Datacenters in space.
Et soyons clairs, ça ne marche pas pour répliquer ce qu'il y a sur Terre...

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.
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.

News from E+E Leader Pacifico Energy’s GW Ranch has set a new standard—securing a TCEQ permit for up to 7.65GW of gas-fired power, designed as a private-grid for AI data centers in West Texas ⚡️.

Corporate America made over $22 billion from contracts with ICE and CBP last year.

The list of companies profiting from Trump's aggressive deportation regime includes Palantir, Deloitte, GEO Group, and many more.

BURN EVERY AI DATACENTERS
JAIL EVERY AI CEOs

DESTROY EVERYTHING

SALT THE EARTH
"The UK creative industries — which contributed £125 billion to the economy in 2024 and supported 2.4 million jobs — are being destroyed by an AI sector that, whatever its long-term potential, contributed just £11 billion in the same year and supported only 85,000 jobs."

Microsoft actually tried undersea datacenters.

Solved the cooling problem, but every time they wanted to replace a burned-out board they had to haul the whole thing out of the ocean, so they gave up on the concept.

"The US is leading a huge global surge in new gas-fired power generation that will cause a major leap in planet-heating emissions, with this record boom driven by the expansion of energy-hungry datacenters to service artificial intelligence, according to a new forecast."

Datacenters gaan tegen alle klimaatmaatregelen in waar wij in Europa voor knokken. Bedenk dat als je chatgtp weer eens een antwoord laat geven op een vraag die je zelf ook had kunnen beantwoorden. We willen schone lucht en water; dat verdwijnt door onze luiheid www.instagram.com/reel/DTS5o6J...

I think all this noise about ice, civil war, ukraine war, covid was only about covering much bigger aim. Mass surveillance and digital IDs. This would not possible without a force, a force option is available when a country at war. That is why they are obsessed with idea of building datacenters

Well, I've never seen one useful use case myself, but if some says it has useful use cases, who am I to refute that. The fact is, *majority* of people uses it for trivial/hobby stuff.

It shouldn't have been a reason to make the datacenters it needs now, the hobbies should have been locally hosted.

Even voor de mensen die op D66 stemden, met hart voor zorg en onderwijs... Beetje blij nu?

Blij met extra geld voor het leger, subsidie voor rijkelui op hun hypotheekrente, hoger eigen risico, halvering WW-tijd? Trots op de "Vrijheidsbijdrage"?

Blij met de AI-Datacenters in Noord NL en Amsterdam?

Here's a thought. Instead of blowing immense amounts of capital investment in AI datacenters with dubious returns, fix your local Office and Windows products so you can better monetize things that are just software.

It is difficult for me to type this but... Elon Musk is right. While all the headlines yesterday were about how gas power will power the datacenters, he is talking about the need for a massive solar buildout.

Cualquiera que tenga un poquito más de capacidad de análisis que prejuicios vería que el boom de la IA empezó hace 3 años, cuando todavía ni se preveía que Trump fuera a ganar.

Y que los datacenters, como se ha criticado tantas veces, son para generar 'slop'.

Palantir no está construyéndolos.
