Comment What's the point? (Score 1, Informative) 39

I don't see what the point of this is or why anyone would bother. AI requires lots of compute which in turn requires lots of power and generates lots of heat. In space, power is at a premium and it's difficult to get rid of excess heat. It is far easier to transmit the data to the ground and do the computations there. Ground based compute can also be upgraded far more readily.

for fecks sake

there is a reason why you dont do compute in space its dumb and however much you think there is power etc you still have to launch that weight up there
best option is to do all of this on earth and raw data transmitted is the best option

the ultimate is a passive system like a bent pipe

get over it

they get to control the ad infrastructure and the data that comes from the full Google suite,

Well I want at least a free phone and $50 per hour for the ads they force on me.

I no longer use my Samsung phone for the Internet - the experience is horrendous. If I don't have access to a Linux/BSD machine, I don't use the internet. I am not going to upgrade my phone till it breaks. Probably then I will use a dumb phone.

Please EU, lets have an EUtube!

We grew up with an alphabetic writing system, why on earth would Microsoft want to replace that with indecipherable icons?

Because a significant percentage of Americans are illiterate, and MS thinks America is the whole world.

Hint for MS: Illiterates probably are not using a word processor.
