the main issue here is whether their manager authorized the activity in question or not. If not - well, it is your kindergarden level mistake, you're an employee at a business venture, and there are basic rules.

And now you're writing a letter to the Party Central Committee using Party approved newspeak

"We do not believe the path to superintelligence ..."

and reporting to the Party issues at the factory ... De ja vu from USSR.

One of the talking heads was pointing that the AI has emphasis on "artificial" - created by humans - whereis super intelligence brings up the idea of something super/above to humans, and that among others has the political dimension of democracy - power of the people - vs. dictatorship - power over people.

while Russia executes its runaway people across the Europe.

>German intelligence is a joke at best

i'm not qualified to pass any judgement here, just Wirecard comes to mind. Routing sensitive payments, including to the network of secret informants, through Wirecard while the Wirecard guy (son of a KGB spy) was safari-ing (and posting photos of it) in Syria with the Wagner mercenaries... He lives right now in Russia, and it looks like German intelligence hasn't exacted any revenge.

>another person may view it

LLMs seem to be moving toward personhood.

And after all the LLM learns from user posts too, and if everybody starts posting their darkest desires, fantasies, plans it may skew the "alignment" to say the least. Lets hope that the AGI level doesn't necessarily come with cheating, lying, religious fervor, power lust or whatever other sideeffects have been observed in human intelligence.

>370,000 tons to LEO

SpaceX is building spaceport with 10 pads or something like this. At 1 Starship/pad per day that 1000 tons/day to LEO - i.e. 1 year.

The Starship is making great progress. Even if it takes 10 years to once-a-day reusability, the need will be even greater by then.

> compute and AI models move so much faster than that timescale

tech moves faster with each iteration, and datacenters and networks only grow with it. The ground-based datacenters has and will continue to grow in cost. While space-based costs will be cheaper and cheaper. Not the first time we have 2 such curves, and such curves dynamics usually leads to paradigm shift.

> ...massive GPU clusters. We don't have to allow openai or anthropic access to those anymore

if anybody was looking for a good reason for datacenters in space.

> ai will lead to the destruction of humanity ... any one ai company can’t change that by not making new ai advancements themselves.

That is how the BigAI leads the society to the idea of necessity to relax the anti-monopoly laws when it comes to the Big AI - the main goal of all that "AI will kill you all" hysteria.

nobody is building real datacenters in space at $1000/kg - at that price the cost is comparable to ground-based and thus no big point. The explosion will start at $100/kg when as i mentioned the base cost would beat ground-based almost 10x, and thus would allow for the additional costs (with total cost still beating ground-based) of all the additional issues/concern you and the others usually mention in this context.

4 years ago we had the ChatGPT moment and notice how civilizational change has been accelerating since then. In a few years we're gong to have the seemingly profound Starship moment. Back at the time it was obvious, i may be said it is even here, that Starship low price will cause explosion of amount of launched payloads and a technological revolution as a result, yet it wasn't clear what kind of payloads it would really be. And now we have the AI - Starship and AI are basically ideally dove-tail each other. Two revolutionary technologies accelerating each other - Strarship lowering deployment cost and removing other obstacles for AI while AI providing guaranteed massive scale launch market for Starship - that will be a thing to watch (or participate if you're lucky :)

sysadmin/hardware jobs would get s3xy again :)

>1) Don’t the radiators need to have more surface area than the solar? (Unless the chips run very hot.)

to generate 1KW you need 5m2 of solar panels. And black body radiation of 1.5m2 at 70 C is 1KW.

A unit with 1 GPU, 2m2 radiator and 5m2 solar panels is say 20kg. At promised Starship price well under $100/kg, that is less than $2000 to put that unit into orbit. That is much cheaper than $15000 per 1KW of a ground-based datacenter, especially when additionally factoring in [expensive and climate change causing] ground-based electricity vs. free electricity in space once you launched the unit with its solar panels.

Add political opposition on Earth, Iranian drones hitting datacenters, various laws (i.e. costs) that your ground-based datacenter is subject too ... the space starts to look like a very cozy place for a datacenter :)

>further out and spread out we could create

a formation in the shape of the client's logo.

AI learns from everything. And when it will be disposing off [unnecessary] humans in similar way, it will definitely take into account the concern similar to yours - that a human is basically a large waterbaloon.

>Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX even Google have been more hands-on

and that changes the whole social/economics/political game. The companies can't rely on the society nor on the government for required services, be it power or even defense (like those attacked AWS datacenters in Middle East). Thus those companies are more and more vertically integrated - for example they all have their own nuclear power startups and at least 2 - AMZN and SPCX - already have their access to space. One can mentally extrapolate things further or just read say Karp's book "The Technological Republic".
