if a company has a problem with this pay for support if its not worth the money …

if models are good at hacking software they are equally good at patching it

use ai to do that

Can't. It's a worse case scenario. It got vibe coded but I don't have access to AI tools to undo it. Basically the company was running a test on some tools, one engineer went ham and the thing ended up getting used, then the company decided to drop the ban hammer on the tools.

doesnt this entire premise rely on an even shock to all parts of the labour economy

It will be more like a tsunami. Comes in waves, knocks down one economic later at a time.

how many average humans do you need if your good humans are driving the ai

what about massive western economies who export wealth through imports could they not offset the effect of employment changes domestically with a decreased demand on imports?

seems to me this will effect countries who rely on mid market exports over raw or high end exports way more then others.

at the very least hes a great capital allocator

this is why ai in space will win

The physics of data centers in space will be extremely difficult and expensive to pull off in any meaningful timeline.

I fully expect "space AI" to be about as realistic as the flying cars and hover boards we've been promised since televisions were black and white.

its only a expensive to viable alternatives, is there a viable alternative for 1 terrawatt of compute on earth? how could you get approvals for such a project

The alternative would be just not building it.

I'm not sold that a data center in space is even possible unless and until we develop a drastically different solution for heat management.

elon musk isnt a nazi

Granted that he is not a member of the NSDAP, but he does support and encourage hard right-wing groups which attempt to fulfill roughly the same mission. His actions certainly meet the more modern definition of nazi than they do any other political description. While he has considerable wealth, his value as a human being is near-zero, in my opinion.

i disagree that he even meets the “modern definition”, in my opinion

now scale it ti 1 terrawatt

Sure.

The satellite way: we launch a hundred million big satellites (or fewer even bigger satellites).

The land way: we cover 15000 square kilometers of the sahara desert in solar panels, or half-cover 30000, either way that's less than a percent of it. And some of the corners of the solar fields get turned into actual datacenter.

They both sound very hard but I don't see any notable reason to favor the first one.

and when the sun goes out?

The number of solar panels I quoted is enough to average more than a terawatt across 24 hours. For the usage part of the equation, you need to overbuild your compute and/or have batteries. Those options are expensive but in exchange you don't need to space-proof or space-launch anything.

how many batteries do you need for a terrawatt of compute? do we have industry capacity to even build that much?

If you can build the solar panels and satellites, I believe in you to build the batteries.

Reaching this scale is a huge problem, but 90% of the problem is shared between the different components.
