Do you mean to suggest that computer hardware does not need to be cooled when it is in space? Or that it is trivial and easier to do this in space compared to on Earth? I don’t understand either claim, if so.

The computer hardware only needs to run enough AI compute to be smart enough to convince Musk that it's working. It should be fine.

Superconductors. Average temperature in space is around 4 K.

Even assuming that this la-la-land idea has merit, the equilibrium temperature at the Earth's orbit is 250 Kelvin (around -20C). The space around the Earth is _hot_.

you do know about the Sun? Earth? and the Moon? where would you get this 4 kelvin?
