Data centers in space, data centers on ships... it's likely just an attempt to avoid laws and oversight.

    And just like all the libertarian attempts to escape the horrors of being taxed and regulated by taking to the sea this too will fail catastrophically

    Or just a way for someone that owns a rocket company to get a trillion dollars. Maybe someone making ships can get a cool $100B from suckers investors.

    In the dot com bubble it was a running joke where someone would take any business idea and and add "on the internet" onto it. "We'll sell dogfood... on the internet!" Boom! A billion dollars in VC money.

    So now it's take anything and add "using AI" to it. This is even better, it's not just "using AI" it's "and put a bunch of AI chips on it."

    "We build ships." Yawn. "We build ships and put a bunch of AI chips on it" Ok, here's your $100 Billion!
