I’m catching up on the news today and see that Nvidia forecasts $1T in GPU sales over the next 18 months. That is crazy. I don’t know how that works at any level.

Also on the nvidia news front, they are making a version of the gpu for orbital datacenters. Now I’ve been around for a long, long time and I’ve heard some pretty dumb ideas in that time, and I feel like orbital datacenters is at least in the top 10.

@jerry I am an aerospace engineer and literally have a PhD in this stuff.
I can confirm that space is essentially the worst place imaginable you could locate a datacenter.
Nvidia is 100% cashing in on this trend/bubble just because people are willing to entertain the idea, and by the time it all crashes, Nvidia doesn't care because they already sold their units.

Maybe it is just a concept of a GPU. Elon Musk farts out the stupidest idea in the world and the funny money casino spins another round. Consider how much money the tech Bros have and how much ketamine they ingest on a daily basis.
