From the Big Short (movie)

Jared Vennett (narration): "In the years that followed, hundreds of bankers and rating agency's executives went to jail. The SEC was completely overhauled, and Congress had no choice but to break up the big banks and regulate the mortgage and derivatives industries."

"Just kidding. Banks took the money the American people gave them, and they used it to pay themselves huge bonuses, and lobby the Congress to kill big reform. And then they blamed immigrants and poor people, and this time even teachers."

I feel like without adding some commentary with these quotes this comment lacks enough info to see how it relates to the linked article.

Legitimately, did you not immediately conclude it was for financial shenanigans? What did you think? I'm not trying to be shitty, but what else could there be?

maybe I am a fool, does space-based AI make no sense at all?

Watts=heat

Heat has nowhere to go in space. Read about how much engineering went into cooling the ISS and now multiply that by billions.

A lot of people who are a little bit ignorant think it's really easy to cool things in space because space is notoriously very cold.

Physics, it turns out, is slightly more complicated than this and it turns out vacuum is an incredibly good insulator and more (much more) than offsets the temperature differential in terms of how easy it is to cool something.
