XAI JOINS SPACEX TO ACCELERATE HUMANITY’S FUTURE

SpaceX has acquired xAI to form the most ambitious, vertically-integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth, with AI, rockets, space-based internet, direct-to-mobile device communications and the world’s foremost real-time information and free speech platform. This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI's mission: scaling to make a sentient sun to understand the Universe and extend the light of consciousness to the stars!

what's the official excuse for doing this? SpaceX is using Grok to design rockets?

“In the long term, space-based AI is obviously the only way to scale. To harness even a millionth of our Sun’s energy would require over a million times more energy than our civilization currently uses!

The only logical solution therefore is to transport these resource-intensive efforts to a location with vast power and space. I mean, space is called “space” for a reason. 😂

By directly harnessing near-constant solar power with little operating or maintenance costs, these satellites will transform our ability to scale compute. It’s always sunny in space! Launching a constellation of a million satellites that operate as orbital data centers is a first step towards becoming a Kardashev II-level civilization, one that can harness the Sun’s full power, while supporting AI-driven applications for billions of people today and ensuring humanity’s multi-planetary future”

The idea of space data centers is so laughably retarded and insane. The only purpose it serves is to raise more money and keep the bubble going.

The International Space Station is powered by a solar array. And it could likely only power around 50 GPUs. If you had a solar array the size of a football field you could power around 100 GPUs. Large data centers currently deploy more than 100,000 GPUs and there are facilities planned that will use more than a million. A single 500,000 GPU data center would require 5,000 football fields worth of solar power to power it. You'd need about 500,000 football field-sized solar array data centers orbiting the Earth to power this.

They're playing multiple angles.

A big one is to try to acquire ChatGPT again.

Gavin should put out a statement that he plans to terminate all of SpaceX’s contracts in three years just to fuck with Elon’s IPO
