We really have to stop uncritically accepting the batshit drivel that billionaires come up with. Their main qualification is exploiting people at scale to enrich themselves with power and money, and they will do and say anything to keep it that way, especially if they pitch it as "the future."

@zackwhittaker OK, put data centers in space but make them orbit Venus. Our skies are too full already.

I bet the response would be "Can't do, think about the ping!". Meanwhile, they're completely oblivious to outer space's ionizing radiation, debris, cooling and maintenance issues.
Or they are not and just want to feed off of the VC asses. I wish had those money grabbing skills though!

@olivetree @Nazani @zackwhittaker Oh, looking forward to some genius’ idea to put data centers into low earth orbit “because ping times.” I mean, it isn’t the future without huge data centers burning up in the atmosphere every few days.
