An utterly unworkable, absurdly costly idea. I'm sure the same investor-lemmings who buy heavily into IPOs which have no viable business model will fall for this too.

    Yep. We already have to deal with waste heat on the ISS, where is the monstrous heat from even a traditional DC to go?

    There's only a rack worth of compute on each satellite. There is nothing monstrous to deal with individually. The plans are to put up a very large quantity of these which will sum up to a large amount.

    That probably makes training on them less effective, and that would likely remain a land based thing, but for inference, any given person probably doesn't need more than 1 rack of compute to themselves, and if they do, they'd probably be using something land based.
