Everyone is focusing on the feasibility of putting compute in space, but I'm more concerned about the unwiseness of putting AIs in a place where they might be reasonably able to deny us access.

Should human-AI relations sour, I want the reassurance that humans with sticks and rocks could reasonably hope to disassemble a data center. Place said data center in orbit around the sun, and the incentive for a hostile intelligence to isolate itself by, e.g. initiating a Kessler cascade, must be considered.

I wonder if there's an argument to be made that these little earthquakes help release stored potential energy in the crust, preventing it from building into a more severe and dangerous event?
