If your argument was one of cost, you should have said so from the start! Economically, it might or might not make sense. I can't pretend to know the economics of running a space based datacenter, I've never run a ground based datacenter.
But you have been arguing about power and electricity and heat and how proud you are to have 200a service at your house (congrats on owning it, btw, tough nowadays) but those aren't the dealbreakers. If the AI bros want to lose billions putting the datacenters in space, I don't have a huge problem with that. Better that than diddling kids and destroying society, which is what they seem to be spending their money on now.
