Okay this is genuinely insane.
SpaceX just unveiled a satellite whose only job is to run AI. Not internet. Not GPS. Just compute, floating in orbit.
It's called AI1, and the reason behind it breaks your brain.
AI data centers on Earth are hitting a wall, not a chip wall, a physics wall.
They need staggering amounts of power and water just to stay cool, and we're running out of grid and land to build them.
So Musk's answer is: stop building them on Earth.
In orbit, the sun never sets. Free power, 24/7. No water for cooling, you just radiate heat into the vacuum of space. The two things choking AI on the ground barely exist up there.
And here's the wild part: Musk says it's easier to build than a Starlink satellite. Strip out the complex antennas and it's "a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and some laser links."
One AI1 carries the compute of an Nvidia GB300 rack, the same hardware data centers fight over down here.
AI1 is just the first one. The plan is a constellation of up to a million of them.
And the timing isn't an accident, SpaceX goes public this week at a ~$1.75 trillion target. This isn't a rocket company anymore. It's positioning itself as the power grid for AI, in space.
The race for AI compute just left the planet. Literally.

The vaccine dosage was obviously too high and done too many times.
I had the original Wuhan virus before there was any vaccine and it was much like any other cold/flu. Bad, but not terrible.
But my second vaccine shot almost sent me to the hospital. Felt like I was dying.
We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt
“The biggest chunk (of the cost of a litre of petrol) fuel duty, that goes to the government so you’re in control of the biggest chunk of the cost that people pay at the pump”

This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔
Ordinary Aussies are doing it so tough.
This poor lady is already feeling crushed and knows she hasn’t even reached the worst of the cost of living pain, yet she’s still struggling badly. 💔😢👇🏽
🇦🇺An Australian tech founder with zero biology background sequenced his dog’s tumor DNA, then used ChatGPT and AlphaFold to design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine.
A month later, the tumors shrank by half.
And this is just the start of AI medicine.
Scientists just copied a Fruit Fly's biological brain and trapped it inside of a computer.
Not an AI model trained to act like a fly... A total digital copy of a fly !! This is some sick sci-fi stuff:
- They scanned and copied the brain, neuron by neuron, synapse by synapse, from electron microscopy data.
- Then dropped that brain into a simulated body in a video game like environment.
The fly walked. It groomed. It fed. Nobody taught it anything. The behavior was already in the wiring.
The entire premise of modern AI is that intelligence is something you train into a system. This is proof it's something you can transfer out of one. Wild times
It finally happened
A McDonald’s truck delivery worker filmed inside the truck and shows the boxes of McDonalds foods, from McChickens, McNuggets, their Apple Pies and more. All with the full ingredients on the side of the boxes
“Please stop eating this sh*t. Let me show y'all a little something — I'm just trying to tell y'all, let y'all know, because y'all don't get to see these ingredients so stop eating this sh*t okay”
AI video generation is getting shockingly good.
In a couple of years, anyone will be able to create a movie from a smartphone- we're entering a whole new era of film.
Here are some of the best examples I've seen:
Sam Altman warned us:
“Everyone thinks you can hire someone to do this."
"That fails 100% of the time."
A board of directors won't cut it.
The secret to building a generational company, according to him?
The founder doing this every day:
We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners. We look forward to getting to know Emmett Shear and OAI's new leadership team and working with them. And we’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.
Copilot will be the new UI for both the world's knowledge and your organization's knowledge, but most importantly, it will be your agent that helps you act on that knowledge. Here are highlights from my keynote today at #MSIgnite.
Today, we’re sharing new data that shows the remarkable productivity gains Copilot is already driving for early users. #MSIgnite https://t.co/OZEU4zVl3u
@sama@sama you don't work your ass off, only to become an employee . No ways! You get a new team, take the ones that believe in you and you start again. Screw being an employee. Go hard Go Fast! You have the edge, OpenAI are going to be too Slow.
