According to Son, electricity represents only 7% of AI data centre operating costs while the remaining 93% is dominated by expensive hardware like AI chips.
For Son, the massive premiums required for rocket launches, mechanical maintenance in a vacuum and latency delays completely wipe out any nominal power savings.
Son believes the AI war will be decided on Earth over the next few years, rendering decade long space based moonshots a costly distraction.

- Ah_MengΒ·05:50TOPYup, I read that tooβ¦ raw materials and hardware are the main costs now. Running cost will increase if we need lots of data centres. The development time spent to make data centres feasible in space will take us so far into the future anyway. I just hope that in the development process, Elon doesnβt generate sooo much space waste for our future generations πLikeReport
