Waste heat from data centers can boost air temperatures in downwind neighborhoods by as much as 4 degrees Fahrenheit, researchers at Arizona State University report in a new study conducted in the Phoenix metro area, the hottest in the U.S.
Which means they’re not as useful, way more expensive, existing ones can’t be serviced or upgraded and they won’t be able to keep up with induced demand. I.e. they’re not practical. Just because something is theoretically doable doesn’t mean it will actually work for what want it to do.
Also cooling chips in space is something we had to solve in order to explore and have satellites whereas the lack of AI data centers in an invented problem. There’s no actual need or demand for them.
Also there’s not enough money (actually money, not imaginary money that our financialized economy makes) to pay for it even it where practical to do. They’re not even able to afford the normal ones lol. Orbit based data centers ain’t happening.

It’s another Musk grift. It’s a scam.
