@sundogplanets Orbital AI datacenters?! What could possibly go wrong?

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social That sounds like the best mood to be in to give a good interview about "AI data centers"

And yes, the orbital AI datacenter thing is real, and 2 companies that I know of have already filed with the FCC for over a million satellites for this completely untested, fucking stupid idea. Fuck you, SpaceX, for one million satellites and using pseudo-religious language in your filing.

@sundogplanets Have a jump/abseil off the Skytower in Auckland, or a bungee jump and see if that will clear your head…
I did the Skytower in Auckland a long time ago - the adrenaline rush afterwards was insane.

@sundogplanets I’ve never been so terrified of anything in my life. I don’t do heights; and I did this to try and conquer my fear of them. At least I can now look out from a height without falling over, fainting or being sick.
They give you a GoPro to wear so you have a little video after - I’ve lost my video, unfortunately. But the adrenaline rush was INSANE. I can still feel it. -

@sundogplanets on the bright side, the engineering hurdles should be enough to prevent this from being put in practice for a reasonable time, shouldn't they?

I have to say that the proportion of media interviews and zoom meetings I do in my pajamas has gone up dramatically since I've arrived in New Zealand. Time zones are hard! #ProfSamLectureTour
