    Are you not advocating for building data centers in space? But you’re frustrated by “people all over lemmy screaming that because there’s no air in space datacenters won’t work up there.”

    Isn’t that the point of your OC?

      Advocating for no.

      You’re frustrated by “people all over lemmy screaming that because there’s no air in space datacenters won’t work up there.”

      Yep.

      Consider this: Do all the reasons for not putting a datacenter in space also apply to not putting a big ass telescope in space?

      If you can justify putting up an expensive telescope into space than you can also justify sending some high performance computing up there to process the sensor data on site. If you want to call your cluster of computers a datacenter go for it.

      If you think datacenters in space are a bad idea for AI and other services here on Earth well then you’d obviously be right but if you think it is because of no air yea we are back to square one ima call you a fuckwit.

      Now if you believe most space exploration is a waste of money and is just used for weapons development that would be noble, but still it’s not a bad idea because there is no air in space. No one has used this argument just the air in space and expensive ones.

      I am not advocating anything for I am just not letting your draconian tribalistic bullshit peer pressure into agreeing with dumbass shit spill over onto science without some pushback.

        But nobody in this thread is making that argument. You’re being a total asshole and making personal attacks against other commenters, despite the fact that they don’t bear any responsibility for that argument.

        What? No, they serve two totally different purposes and have significantly different requirements.

        Mine? Or “your” as in all of us on lemmy, which includes you? Again, nobody in this thread made that argument, nor defended it, nor defended any other commenters who did - and you’re still acting like a complete dick about it.

          We don’t have eyeglasses on space based telescope guy there is no human up there looking through the telescope and writing down what they are finding.

          Yes YOUR tribalistic bullshit. You lying dog that is what this whole thread has been about it isn’t my fault you didn’t realise you were assaulting real science with your tribalism.

            Ah, OK, I think I’m starting to understand the problem here.

            You lying dog

            What exactly do you believe I’m lying about? What evidence do you have that I’m lying?

            you were assaulting real science with your tribalism

            In what way am I assaulting science, or engaging in tribalism?

              Liar everyone in this thread made that argument including you it was the first thing you said. Apply that same logic to putting telescopes in space they aren’t exactly the most efficient cost effective forms of science shit is difficult. Your entire reasoning that it is not cost effective and is difficult is anti-science. If you weren’t being a tribalistic asshole you wouldn’t care but because the AI is against your tribe and AI also happens to need datacenters you do care. I cared long before AI fuck you.

              Maybe you are under some impression that data is hoarded and not triaged. Onsite processing would be a leap in technology.
