I want to giggle like most everyone else with this comment...
...then I look at what I'm doing at my new job in nuspace (I jumped out of LEDs and LASERs,) and realize I'm one of the people that is tasked with making this some sort of a possibility, without having been explicitly told so.
Faaaaaaaaaaack me. Well, I have a chance to shine if I can talk sense into the right heads.
Oh there will be something up there that they call a datacenter. It doesn't have to actually work for them to point at it and say "the data is up there and therefore is not subject to whatever regional regulation you're hassling me about."
It's a bit like how one guy bought alpaca socks on the silk road and thousands pointed to those socks and said "see, it's not for crime."

The push to do GPUs / AI in orbit is mainly to chase Department of War dollars for the Golden Dome program.

I hope the engineers who weaponize space understanding how destructive that is.
I think the engineers working on "AI datacenters… in spaaaaaace!" largely realize it's never really gonna happen.
