Beware the hyperbole machine! Big Tech is now proposing building data centers in orbit. Musk and Bezos are leading the charge - but they are NOT the only players.
Proponents of orbital data centers suggest they gain advantages by tapping limitless solar energy, deal with the challenges related to heat/cooling, while avoiding the environmental and public-health consequences of building them on earth.
Critics contend that the expense and technological complexity of putting data centers in the unforgiving environment of space makes the idea impractical.
SpaceX and Blue Origin are not the only proponents, Google is looking at this space as are Aetherflux, Lonestar Data Holdings, and Axiom Space. https://gizmodo.com/spacex-hypes-2026-ipo-with-predictable-ingredient-ai-in-orbit-2000697922 #Space #OrbitalDataCenters #AI #DataCenters #Hyperbole #BigTech #Musk #Bezos #BlueOrigin #SpaceX #Google #Suncatcher #Satellites #AIDataCenters
novaTopFlex Returns to novaTopFlex
After a fairly long, dark, and gloomy hiatus, the true novaTopFlex identity returns to the heavyweight technology industry, one step at a time. With every action taken by novaTopFlex is always an equal and opposite reaction from the system in question. novaTopFlex records videos to the system, and the system uploads the videos back to the Three Identities, and then the Three Identities decide which identity is most suited to a certain video stream, and then the final solution to each video […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/10/30/novatopflex-returns-to-novatopflex/
Some AI evangelists are out here saying it can work miracles.
Meanwhile AI is giving major Missing Stair energy.
Clearly someone is getting seriously high on his own supply! What heck is a “production-intent prototype”.... Yowzers!!
My Prediction: "Huminoid" robots will ultimately be a giant Red Herring. Robots will be purpose built. Huminoid versions will nichey at best. https://www.brentdoncaster.com/post/technologies-greatest-red-herrings
Musk's view = Tesla will deliver 1 million Optimus robots. Tesla’s robots will “actually create a world where there is no poverty, where everyone has access to the finest medical care". Optimus “will be an incredible surgeon". Ok. Sure. Ya. Got it. https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-wants-strong-influence-over-the-robot-army-hes-building/

Saw the most stylish teapot in this universe last night.
Pewter, asymetric knob on hinged lid, wooden handle.
(It poured well.)
What do Elizabeth Holmes, Sam Bankman-Fried, and Trevor Milton have in common with AI founders??
They all took or are likely taking (in the case of IA Founders) ambitious, visionary, often hyperbolic storytelling over the line into outright fraud...
Prediction - this will become some of the fissures that leads to an AI market bubble pop!
