Oh God they thought Palantir was too subtle didn't they

And our retirement security is going to be locked up in this madness.

Who stand to benefit from increased invests … maybe wealthy investors…🤷‍♀️

AKA people who cheated through high school and college and only care about numbers. Here's what I care about.

it's somehow worse!

But it's an AI company that moonlights with space

In the future, all stocks will be meme stocks.

There's a trillion reasons this dystopia is teetering towards post apocalypse.

What else are the proles supposed to do with their meager earnings? Put it in savings?

to prop up cultish mythologies I guess

it's a big club and you ain't in it

It's PR for tech bros.

Feels very similar to collateralized debt obligation squared

Remembering all the "journalism" going on at CNBC during the frothy days of the dotcom bubble and the housing bubble. Every generation has to learn anew it seems.

Literally

Jfc these people think sci-fi is current day real life

This technology that's still being developed and hasn't been tested yet that's specifically for unloading supplies is a sure bet to remove broken hardware from a data center and replace it.

Replacing chips and fixing broken hardware are difficult to do in space. The solution? Robots! Robots that are also difficult to maintain and fix in space! Brilliant!

Not just a flight failure, but a failure to address heat.

That is priceless! OMG Icarus Robotics.

they will test unloading bags of supplies next year ——> able to replace a RAM module in a server speaking as someone who has not only worked in a server lab, but also studied robotics, yes, those are TOTALLY the same difficulty level 😆

Yes, probably because making robots that do stuff remotely in space has precedent. It's not revolutionary or disruptive technology being developed. Even getting parts up there to replace old parts is likely trivial with unmanned missions. The ignorance of heat management up there is more pressing.

100%. Daedalus might have been a better choice, but they probably have no idea. It’s like the Palantir guys.

Sounds like 90s and aughts @wired.com.

“Another common argument is that this is impossible, but what if we all close our eyes and imagine.”

As long as they don't fly too close to the sun...

And that's before you even think about the power and cooling. You'd need 60sqft+ of solar panels, and at least half as much again of liquid cooled radiator panels just to even have a chance of running ONE Blackwell in a vacuum without air convection. An almost 100sqft array enclosing ONE CHIP.
