My question is always how the hell are you going to cool them. Do you know hard it is to move heat in a vacuum?
Show threadfallaciousBasisMar 1
A radiator. Next question?
Show threadBeardededSquidwardMar 1
What’s going to be performing convection to dissipate heat from the radiator in a manner to support the heat generated by an AI data center?

Obnoxious as he seems to be, he’s actually right, there will be no convection, but they’d radiate heat in a vacuum, by IR IIRC.

You’d need an enormous radiator to move the heat a data center puts out. Not even all the billionaires put together could afford that.

Sure, the idea is as bad as solar roadways. It’s actually kind of impressive to come up with an idea that bad.
