We plan to decrease operational costs for our AI model by building custom servers that are immune to cosmic radiation, then spending trillions of dollars launching them into space.

@pewnack @malwaretech also, heat dissipation in the space void is super inefficient (basically only by radiation), another big win.

High orbit, then, and container clusters if you don't like one big ring.
@alexmdunne
If you market it as ONE BIG RING (the ring to rule them all) I can see thiel techbro running to build it as an extension of palantir... @pier @malwaretech -
@malwaretech you laugh but bit flips are no laughing matter! imagine youre using your ai and suddenly it does something totally unexpected for reasons no one is able to diagnose?
@NocturnalNessa @malwaretech Like... that space AI would halluicnate? ugh!
-
Why don't they just ring the earth with 40ft shipping containers packed with rack mounted servers, covered in solar panels and daisy.chaomed together in a low orbit?
Perpetually powered, cooled, and stationery (but spinning)...
@alexmdunne @malwaretech In space you have the problem that hit doesn't go away by itself be abuse there is only microgravity. So you need a system to move the heat away from the system. It doesn't help that there is cold space around. Also: do not underestimate unfiltered sun rays in space

@malwaretech lots of billionaires need a place outside the law to store their child porn, the research and deployment will surely pay for themselves within two years

Reminds me of the viral video where an electrician, finding major faults in grandma house, asked when her grandsons house burnt down (granadson being an alleged electrician).
Grandma: How did you know his house burnt down? 🫨

Good explanation why it's completely stupid idea.

Whenever musk talks about going to Mars I just know it's to build the new little st James. -

Vacuum is the problem.How long does coffee stay hot, or iced lemonade stay cold in a really good thermos flask? Not the modern steel or alloy flasks. The real ones with a small neck and big vacuum gap between the glass walls?

@malwaretech the cosmic radiation is there to add randomness

@alexmdunne @malwaretech or just repurpose all those Teslas that no one wants to buy. After all Musk has already sent one into space.

"Oh. And, because of the lifecycle of the GPUs, we'll need to replace space-borne hardware every three-ish years."
Impact to the atmosphere by the (tens of?) thousands of annual rocket-launches to build and service those datacenters will be absolutely trivial, I'm sure. -

Ooh! Space-borne entropy-sources. The performance of/dev/randomwill be vastly improved …and we won't need to jiggle mice, any more! -

Though, in this case, it will be an orbit full of the cooled blobs of slagged CPUs and GPUs. -

Used to work for a global ISP in the early 2000s. Sun had released a new line of mid-range servers (e250, e450, etc.). They had significant issues with random panic() reboots caused by ECC memory-errors. Sun never could figure out the problem, citing the possibility that the parity errors were coming from cosmic rays. Eventually, they issued a patch …to log the errors rather than act on them. -

@malwaretech reminds me of a short video that was shared with me:
Electrician (holding camera): "Who did you say wired your house again?"
Customer (in another room) "My cousin"
Electrician: "Okay, and when did his house burn down?"
Customer: "Oh, about two years ago... Wait, how did you know his house burned down?"(As this happens, the electrician is showing that there's 120 volts between the customer's oven and metal countertop, capable of supplying enough current to light a lightbulb.)

@malwaretech While hackers can hack alot of things, they can't hack physics. (I do have a couple of cool ideas using lasers to dump the heat...but yeah physics)
Space data centers are a bad idea..lol. Imagine the poor sucker who's got to swap a gpu when a petaEV accelerated by some blazar comes crashing in.

@alexmdunne @pier @malwaretech Beowulf clusters with token ring in space, that’s the ticket. We’ll call it Chat ORbital Beowulf AI, or CORBA

@NocturnalNessa @malwaretech "Imagine youre using your ai and suddenly it does something totally unexpected for reasons no one is able to diagnose?"
Pretty sure you don't need bit flips for that to happen. Just working as designed.
