he is literally going to launch datacenters into space to train ai so they are a little related

edit: these replies aren't going to age well

Yeah, I'm not buying that. I don't see how that could be any cheaper than regular datacenters. It might just be technically feasible, but launching stuff into space will always be more expensive than not launching stuff into space. And all those pesky technical issues like cooling might be solvable, but I doubt they're that cheap to solve.

[relaxing]

No he is not. It makes no sense from a physics standpoint or an economic standpoint. And even if they were, it wouldn’t require whatever this acquisition is.

You're right, but in this sense:

literally (adverb)

informal : in effect : virtually

Used in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible.

Ex: I literally died of embarrassment.

He says he is going to launch data centers in space. We should all know better than to take him at his word on that by now.

[brendoelfrendo]

No, he's not. And if he does, he's as big of an idiot as his detractors say that he is.
