Low earth orbit has a lot of space. It's bigger than the entire surface of Earth since it's further out. Satellites are small. It's just not a big deal really.
We should be chad satellite maximalists.

Oh no, a few pennies in such a ridiculously large area that it will never hit me, whatever will I do. It's only a problem if a shitton of satellites explode and toss a ludicrous amount of debris everywhere.
The problem is mostly overblown by people who want No Fun Allowed and don't want humanity to do anything more than bang rocks together.

It's not just for LLMs; it can be used for data processing in general. There's also potential military applications.

The advantages of building slop in space are that you have virtually unlimited energy from the sun, so you won't have folx pooping and farting all over the place about muh water usage n shiet. It's also a source of revenue from other AI companies(not a bubble btw)

You know why. Furry ERP with LLMs.
Unironic answer, computation is pretty much always useful. As long as they're CPU/GPU and not ASICs they'll be useful for something. So in other words, rendering nsfw furry Blender animations

True, 100% not a bubble. I hope all the AI companies kill themselves sooner rather than later so the RAM shortage ends and Valve can finally release the steam frame.

>>115499
Energy positive fusion coming never ever. Fission is way cooler because it's actually usable and good right now. Water isn't an issue anyway, just power and getting the chips in the first place.
I would agree that on the ground is more feasible. The buzz about doing it in space is probably a pipe dream to help generate more buzz about rocket launches.

About twenty-five years back at UC San Diego a fusion* reactor was constructed that got a lot closer to break-even but there were reasons the project was shut down.

*Fusion with the common, cheap fuels that fuse at relatively low energies put almost all of the resulting energy into extremely spicy, high-speed neutrons.  If you make the shielding out of depleted uranium, those spicy bois will fission it and boost the overall efficiency enormously (see also, Teller-Ulam Device).  The less spicy neutrons are absorbed and convert U-238 to U-239, which becomes neptunium-239, which rapidly decays to plutonium-239.  It was maybe less a fusion reactor than an extremely fast breeder reactor that produced lots and lots of plutonium in a hurry.  The Bush Administration regarded this as a negative, due to muh nucular non-proliferation, and everything was very quietly cancelled and scrapped not long after 9/11.

That laser shit always skips the 90% losses on the lasers themselves which will never ever be solved. If fusion outputs more energy than the laser pulse - that's nothing. It needs to output 100-1000 times more to be useful.

radiators are a cope, they need to be massive just to keep your life support and rocket propulsion from cooking whatever's on board. Since datacenters run far hotter than that we ought to put them on the ocean floor
