I asked Google for more information about AI datacenter in space. This was the first sentence, 'AI data centers are being developed in space to handle the massive energy demands of AI, using solar power and the vacuum of space for cooling.'

> After laughing at "the vacuum of space for cooling" I closed the page because there was nothing serious there. Basic high school physics student would be laughing at that sentence.

Interestingly, this comment gets a lot of downvotes.

If you don't want to help improve the world, then how are you expecting things to become better?

I understand that people don't like it that this will give Google an advantage. But what is the proper alternative? We have no non-profit organizations who could muster the money to build these systems. I suppose those who are critical of large companies would also be critical of governments building these systems.

So is what you (downvoters) propose here to just complain and do nothing about it? I'd be curious to hear what alternatives you propose.
