Greetings, Earthlings: Philip Johnston of Starcloud on Data Centers in Space

Philip Johnston of Starcloud argues that space will become the primary location for AI compute within a decade. He explains how plummeting launch costs, superior solar energy economics in orbit, and the physics of heat dissipation will soon make space-based data centers cheaper and more scalable than their terrestrial counterparts, predicting a future where nearly a trillion dollars in annual CapEx shifts to space.

China is killing the US on energy. Does that mean they’ll win AGI? – Casey Handmer

Casey Handmer explains why the massive energy demand from AI will be met not by the grid or natural gas, but by vast, off-grid solar farms, and what this energy singularity means for the future of civilization.
