We'll see!

Keep in mind that the current state of space electronics is centered around one-off very expensive launches, where the electronics failure would be a fiscal disaster. (See JWST)

Being able to rapidly launch cheap electronics may very well change the whole outlook on this.

People already do that (launch cheap, redundant, unshielded electronics) for LEO, but sounds like these data centers would pretty explicitly not be in LEO.

Also AI GPUs are the exact opposite of cheap electronics
