Give the most meaningful Christmas gift ✨ Create a custom star map from Under Lucky Stars at http://UnderLuckyStars.com
Data centers are all the rage right now thanks to AI, and SIlicon Valley is looking to push the concept of data centers to the extreme. Across tech, executives now say they want to build data centers in space, claiming putting computers into Earth’s orbit is both efficient and necessary. Is this true or have these guys gone mad? Let’s take a look.
