It’s absolutely harmful to waste resources on worthless grifting at the expense of the planet and people suffering from very real deprivation.
That’s why it’s the same people promoting both the grift and the deprivation.
Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

To clarify, the article is just saying that it’s wildly unfeasible and prohibitively expensive.
They’re not saying it’s dangerous or going to harm people in some way.
I feel like some people may get the wrong idea from the headline.

Sure, but that’s not what the article is saying, to be clear.

You mean they didn’t mention that the laws of physics make data transfer to and from orbit an absolute PitA and that no one would sit around for that long?
