Starcloud already launched a data center in spaces. It is leveraging space’s solar energy for power and radiative cooling. I think because in space you don't have ambient temperature fluctuation so cooling is more constant. And without convection it's emit as infrared radiation but in reverse. So there's a real successful deployment that can be duplicated. Google is also getting ready to launch its own data center using same technology. Obviously these would be gigantic radiator panels.

So, these AI processors are hardened to survive space?

Apparently yes and some are already built and ready for launch

I'll believe it when I see it. It's one thing to send a wi-fi router to outer space, it's another to have a functioning data center exist out in the unforgiving harshness of space. Musk is a good vaporware salesman and market manipulator.

I mean, why would he stop rigging the system now when it's been so successful thus far?

Hopefully the bubble bursts before they launch this nonsense
