I see some people (<side eyes>) are talking about space based AI server farms. Please stop this. The entire ISS solar array provides enough power to fire up less than two H200 equipped racks.

And don't get me started on getting rid of the heat and how hard it is to rad-harden chips in space.

Young Peter went to his guidance teacher and said what he really wanted to do with his life was resign in disgrace. That's not a job, said the teacher. I think I could be good at it, said Peter. You'll never make a whole career out of it, said the teacher. Young Peter determined to prove them wrong.
