Liar everyone in this thread made that argument including you it was the first thing you said.

OK, quote me. Quote any of my comments in this thread where I argued that putting data centers in space is a bad idea because there is no air in space. Now who's lying?

Apply that same logic to putting telescopes in space they aren’t exactly the most efficient cost effective forms of science shit is difficult.

Putting telescopes in space solves a particularly difficult problem. Space telescopes have the advantage of missing that thing you keep hallucinating everyone here is arguing about - air. Because there's no atmospheric distortion, space telescopes are able to get images with orders of magnitude greater clarity. The heat dissipation problem is a tiny fraction compared to a data center, because there are (much) fewer components on a telescope that generate heat. The two things are not the same.

When putting telescopes on earth, there is no way of dodging the fact that there is miles of atmosphere above it that cause distortion. There is no engineering around that. There are of course mitigations, but those are hurdles that are entirely skipped by putting them in space.

Data centers have no such need. So what problem is solved by putting them in space? Why would you even want to? There are millions of square miles of earth to put them - where it would be much, much easier and cheaper to cool them, access them, power them, and maintain them.

If you weren’t being a tribalistic asshole you wouldn’t care but because the AI is against your tribe and AI also happens to need datacenters you do care. I cared long before AI fuck you.

Can you quote where I said anything about AI? What leads you to believe I am against AI, or data centers? The only thing I've argued against is putting data centers in space. You're the only one bringing up AI.

It sure seems like you very desperately need to be a martyr, and that you need to see yourself as a champion for science when everyone around you is anti-science. That is not scientific, rational thinking. Taking the argument that "putting a data center in space is hard for many reasons" and reducing it to "we can't put data centers in space because there's no air" is dishonest. It's a straw man.

This is now clearly a psychological issue with you, perhaps a psychiatric issue. You're angry, and you need to be angry and don't actually care what people are saying - you're going to argue against them because they must be anti-AI and anti-science.
