Elon Musk's Space Data Centers: The Future of Compute! #shorts

Transcript

1. 0:00The third option, and the one that I think ultimately becomes where most of the compute goes, is into space. And so,
2. 0:06Elon Musk is big onto this. There's a There's a a company They might be called Planetary. I forget what they're called. Um
3. 0:15where they've designed data centers that basically sit in orbit. So So, imagine a, you know, a bunch of H100
4. 0:22chips, you know, supercomputers sitting on a rack floating in space with big giant solar sails that are capturing the energy from the sun.
5. 0:33It's 24/7. Right? So, you don't need batteries because you have the sun 24/7. And then, space is cold. You have to have special
6. 0:41manifolds for for dissipating things in space, but they figured that out. They know how to do it. And so
7. 0:49Elon Musk with Starlink has proven you can get lots of things into space. And space is huge, right? And so
8. 0:57So, I think that what starts to happen is a lot of the compute will go to space. There are alternatives. There are
9. 1:02ways to do land-based data centers more responsibly. >> [laughter] >> So So, I You know, I think what you're
10. 1:11going to have is just a series of This is probably the largest um infrastructure investment by the private sector in history, is my guess.
