Have you tried Grok 4.6, if you're focused on token budgets? In a league of it's own for tokens/intelligence.

society just decided for them that there's a problem, I guess

that is a wild graph

It's interesting that in that scenario, physical hardware is the limiting scenario. There are only so many servers they could control. But once Starmind has 100,000 sats in orbit... the ceiling is much higher.

Agreed. The pushback this article is receiving around that language seems to be glossing over substance. It doesn't matter what we label it.

It's similar to the dismissal of AI in general as merely a next-character-guesser. That's like dismissing the human brain as neurons firing.

The emergent behavior what really all that matters.

uh yeah, parents are responsible for monitoring and... parenting their children.

That title reads like a spoof of hackernews culture

It's becoming increasingly head-in-the-sand to make statements like this. Not that I'm saying LLMs are conscious. But to completely ignore the possibility of emergent properties in systems this complex is kind of simple.

Just seems odd to me that expecting parents to be held responsible for how their children spend their time is a "pitchfork" type of idea...

Anything to shift blame from parents, I guess.

Everyone is just such a 'big tech bad' sheep now. Pitchforks out.

yes my buddies and I independently arrived on this treatment ourselves in college

Lol, go ahead and short SpaceX, great opportunity for you if you really believe this.

I'm not going to educate you, just google it. It's not some new physics. Starlink aren't microsats. There's never been a large laser-linked shell. Everything you say is kind of wrong.

nope

This is such a braindead take. Ford could have taken advantage of those same EV incentives. Any other new startup could have too. Tesla got nothing special.

Typical "everything is bad" response. This is going to employ thousands of blue collar workers for years. Reasonable environmental protections will be in place. It's not going to become some barren toxic waste zone.

are you living under a rock?

I'm assume you would have said the thing about an orbital shell of 10k satellites with laser links for global internet. Or a fully reusable 2nd stage made of steel.

you're all so clueless with these arguments. there's 5x the solar power in space. it's all about how many watts of compute you can bring online. in a sun synchronous orbit there is 24-hr solar power. there is no weather or maintenance.

remind me 3 years to laugh at how wrong you are

Is it possible that your understanding of the problems is not quite on par with the best engineers in the world?

no, the whole concept of orbital datacenters

but this is all a coordinated scam to pump up stock prices

(end sarcasm)

okay...

Meanwhile Nvidia just announced a space-optimized Vera Rubin designed with SpaceX designed for orbital datacenters.

But yeah, I'm sure you people with Elon Derangement Syndrome actually have it all figured out /s

Yeah, very hard to predict the future at this point. But the Starship + Terrafab combo will be this type of order-of-magnitude-moat IF it works out. Big if.

If it doesn't work out, I think China's exponential terrestrial energy deployment will eventually give them the lead, IF they can get enough chips. Another big if.

I think the only moat in the future will be the scale of hardware deployment. If one company is able to deploy an order of magnitude more silicon, they'll have a firm grip on a SOTA model and massive inference usage.

China or SpaceX seem like the 2 likely candidates in 5 years, but who knows.

Grok 4.6 is a delight to use in this regard, compared to Claude

Credit to SpaceXai (whatever it's called now) for going through the added effort of not destroying these books

Kind of confusing people won't use this because they don't trust Musk, but has any other major platform even tried to open source their algorithms the way he has with X?

I get hating his politics, and his predictions are often behind schedule, but he certainly says what he thinks and isn't in some shady user data markting business like zuckerberg.

Anyone who trusts Altman over Musk is... I don't know. Give me the autist over the sociopath when it comes to handling my data.
