Was supposed to say illegal, the argument didnt work with saying legal.
Womble
The difference is that a hand grenade is illegal to own. A series of matrix multiplications is not.
A better comparison is a knife. If you throw that in the air and it lands on someone you are responsible, the person who sold you a potentially dangerous but legal tool is not.
Edit illegal, not legal. silly mistake
I know you think you’re being witty, but autonomous robotic surgery is a hot tech that is starting to push into active use.
PubMed Central (PMC)Autonomous Robotic Surgery: Has the Future Arrived?Autonomous robotic surgery represents a pioneering field dedicated to the integration of robotic systems with varying degrees of autonomy for the execution of surgical procedures. This paradigm shift is made possible by the progressive integration ...posted in Technology
AI labels to be compulsory on authentic-looking content under EU rules

- the original comment was “blah”
- on the 6th of August 2024 it was changed to “blah2”
- and the 20 of January the comment was deleted
There isnt a way for you to remove that unless there is some legal mechanism for you to force them to remove all data about you.
Starlink sats are of the order of 20-50kW, an AI focused rack in a data centre is on the order of 100kW, powering the things is definitely feasible.
Unlike:
- cooling them
- rad hardening them
- replacing components as they fail
- data up/downlink or interconnect
All of which are somewhere between horrible and impossible for data centres in space.
Power is pretty much the only part of space data centres that does make sense. You can put them in an orbit to get 24hr solar power and its stronger than on the ground as there’s no atmosphere in the way. Large foldable solar panels are available, and unlike radiators you don’t have to pump liquids through them.
Other than hype (which is by far the major driving force behind companies talking about them) access to that power without regulation is the reason you would want to put them in space.
