@elonmusk@shaunmmaguire@uncovered_alpha Orbital compute will be the only way to scale AI probably sometime in 2029 due to power availability& permitting problems on land
@elonmusk@MilkRoadStocks@grok is it possible to calculate how much the revenue of already built-out compute helps pay for the capex of the next quarter's buildout?
@elonmusk@ICannot_Enough The lack of self-awareness and hypocrisy of Gates who had the nerve to ask Elon to donate to his mostly window-dressing environmental causes, while simultaneously aiming to make $500M from Tesla’s demise, boggles the mind
Satellites with localized AI compute, where just the results are beamed back from low-latency, sun-synchronous orbit, will be the lowest cost way to generate AI bitstreams in <3 years.
And by far the fastest way to scale within 4 years, because easy sources of electrical power are already hard to find on Earth. 1 megaton/year of satellites with 100kW per satellite yields 100GW of AI added per year with no operating or maintenance cost, connecting via high-bandwidth lasers to the Starlink constellation.
The level beyond that is constructing satellite factories on the Moon and using a mass driver (electromagnetic railgun) to accelerate AI satellites to lunar escape velocity without the need for rockets. That scales to >100TW/year of AI and enables non-trivial progress towards becoming a Kardashev II civilization.
@spencerpratt Launching super intelligence satellites into deep space with a mass driver on the Moon can achieve >>petawatt/year capability, which would far exceed the best case value of Earth’s economy
