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.

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? 🫨

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

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 Did they tech themselves spalling two?

@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.

High orbit, then, and container clusters if you don't like one big ring.
@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.

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 how are they cooled exactly? You know that heat doesn't disapate in space. Cooling systems for things in space are invariably complex, and don't shift the amount of heat a data centre makes.

@alexmdunne @malwaretech Because physics exists
@pier
Okay but what if it didn't????????
