Data centers in space, data centers on ships... it's likely just an attempt to avoid laws and oversight.

And just like all the libertarian attempts to escape the horrors of being taxed and regulated by taking to the sea this too will fail catastrophically

We'll get to see REAL digital piracy on the high seas!

Bears will eat the data centres, somehow

Would you kindly stop being so pessimistic?

[-] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 months ago

No, no I don’t think I will

[-] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

Seems you did not mean to make a BioShock reference. oh well, worth a try =)

[-] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

Did you just vicariously woosh me via myself?

[-] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I... I'm not sure? Now I am confused, ¿?¿

Whatever the case may be, would you kindly have a great day now? ;)

[-] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

You have a great one too, stay safe out there

[-] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

For sure let’s just leave this mystery unsolved

Or just a way for someone that owns a rocket company to get a trillion dollars. Maybe someone making ships can get a cool $100B from ~~suckers~~ investors.

In the dot com bubble it was a running joke where someone would take any business idea and and add "on the internet" onto it. "We'll sell dogfood... on the internet!" Boom! A billion dollars in VC money.

So now it's take anything and add "using AI" to it. This is even better, it's not just "using AI" it's "and put a bunch of AI chips on it."

"We build ships." Yawn. "We build ships and put a bunch of AI chips on it" Ok, here's your $100 Billion!

¿Por qué no los dos? You can excite the fascist libertarians and still get the attention of the people who blow their load the moment someone adds "AI" to a product.
