A tale told in tweets (Make sure to use the Muppet announcer voice when you read the word "space")

 

Are data centers in space a dream or AI’s next big thing? SpaceX, Blue Origin and tech firms see orbital server farms addressing Earth’s power and land issues but costs could be out of this world.

I wonder if there's some reason why Google would want to encourage all of this silly data-centers-in-space talk...

BAGNAROK is Ed Niedermeyer's term for Musk's scheme to use the SpaceX IPO to create a massive short squeeze and force everyone with a NASDAQ index fund to buy his insanely inflated stock.

Keeping the data-centers-in-space hype following may be a necessary condition for BAGNAROK (tm) just as credulous reporting on humanoids is a necessary condition for keeping Tesla valuation from imploding. (And Google makes a lot of money if this goes through.)

Google/Alphabet has even more money money on the line when it comes to keeping the AI bubble going and this definitely helps keep that river of hype flowing.
