I am just honestly confused. There seem to be no logical reason for it, except that it would raise the stock value of rocket producers like SpaceX and Blue Origin.

So I can actually think of a few reasons: Preprocessing vast amounts of super high resolution satellite imagery to save bandwidth, and jurisdictional black site processing data some countries would want to steal or arrest you for having or processing, particularly if you were hiding it from internal audit. You would be paying an extreme premium over ground based for ever FLOP, so, the customer base of practical customers is limited to a handful of very well funded intelligence agencies or scientific projects in very niche use cases.

    Like every other real "ai" use case:

    This is fucking awful, and I hope there's a hell so every single person involved can get some fraction of the suffering they deserve.

    How consistent is modern day gnosticism with that of the first/second centuries?

    Oh no one of the threads most forms of Gnosticism gave in common is the idea that earth / corporeal existence is hell in the same way that the Buddha says all feeling is suffering. It's like that bit in the good place where she realizes they're actually in hell already.
