ELON MUSK ON HOW ORBITAL COMPUTING WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING: "TO REACH A PETAWATT, WE'D BUILD AN ELECTROMAGNETIC MASS DRIVER ON THE MOON WITH ROBOTS LIKE OPTIMUS AND HUMANS. WITH NO ATMOSPHERE AND 1/6 GRAVITY, PAYLOADS CAN REACH ESCAPE VELOCITY WITHOUT ROCKETS, DRASTICALLY CUTTING COSTS. THAT COULD SCALE COMPUTE 1000X...

What's interesting isn't just the moon-based logistics concept it's the assumption that future compute demand could justify something this ambitious.

Orbital computing won't ever happen. Space is fake & gay.

Possibly going to fuck the gravitational relationship Earth has with moon. You thought your wife was crazy now!! Wait until she has fortnightly menstrual cycles!!

위성이 필요한 숫자는.. 우주가 지정하여 주었다, 2,8,8,18, 32,..익숙한 숫자이다, 1만2천개의 인공위성중에 필요하고 유용한건 0,05%도 되지않는다, 나머지 전체는 무기로 유용되고 있다, 인간의 욕심이 우주괘도를 덮고있다,

Elon Musk just explained why artificial intelligence cannot physically survive on Earth. In a conversation with Jamie Dimon, Musk bypassed the romance of space exploration entirely. He answered with physics. Musk: “I think we can do probably somewhere around 1 terawatt per year of AI space compute from Earth, but we can do 1,000 terawatts or more from the Moon.” One terawatt. That is the thermodynamic ceiling of this entire planet. Every nuclear plant. Every solar farm. Every grid upgrade humanity can possibly build. All of it maxes out at one terawatt of AI compute. Earth is no longer a canvas. It is a bottleneck. So Musk is looking at the Moon. Not for flags. Not for footprints. For leverage. Musk: “Because the Moon has no atmosphere and about one-sixth Earth’s gravity, you can use an electromagnetic accelerator… You don’t need to use rockets to do AI data centers into deep space from the Moon. You can literally just shoot them like a railgun type of thing.” He is not describing a research outpost. He is describing a frictionless manufacturing hub on a celestial body. Mine the lunar surface for raw material. Build solar arrays and thermal radiators on-site. Construct an electromagnetic railgun. And fire AI superclusters directly into the vacuum of deep space. No supply chain from Earth. No atmosphere to fight. No fuel to burn on exit. A thousand terawatts. A 1,000x multiplier on the physical limit of human intelligence. And the Moon isn’t even the endgame. Musk: “We can build a self-growing city on the Moon faster than we could do so on Mars.” The Moon is the factory floor. Mars is the civilization. Musk: “If you warm up Mars, you could one day make Mars like Earth, meaning with liquid oceans and life and where you could walk outside without a spacesuit type of thing.” Musk: “I call Mars a fixer-upper of a planet, but it’s got a lot of potential.” A fixer-upper. That is how the richest man on Earth talks about an entire planet. Like a house with good bones and a bad roof. The rest of the industry is fighting over zoning permits and year-long environmental reviews to plug in a single server farm. Musk is building a magnetic launcher on the Moon to fire compute into the cosmos. For ten thousand years, humanity looked up at the stars and saw mythology. Musk looks up and sees bandwidth. We thought the ultimate purpose of spaceflight was exploration. It was always infrastructure. Earth was never the destination. It was the incubator.
