Billionaires won't rest until they end life on Earth. A lot of these psychopaths believe in the big replacement. They are morons having no clue that they too will die.

I haven't read the article, but know a little bit. This is a thing only a person that thinks space is magic would think is a good idea. The big reason is heat. More specifically how to get rid of it. Our more realistic and earthbound data centers primarily use electricity to power cooling. How do you get rid of the heat in space? There's nothing to transfer the heat to.

Anyone else feel like they are only floating this idea so that data centers in neighborhoods driving up the cost of electricity and polluting everything looks better by comparison?

To clarify, the article is just saying that it's wildly unfeasible and prohibitively expensive.

They're not saying it's dangerous or going to harm people in some way.

I feel like some people may get the wrong idea from the headline.

i believe that cooling in space is EVEN HARDER then cooling in atmosphere. something about a near vacuum being a terrible, terrible thermal conductor

Yeah, but that's the point. It's a boondoggle. Grifters need a bottomless hole for marks to pour money down.
