00:00Another point that is often overlooked is the architecture of such data centers.
00:05No one is forcing them to be monolithic giants. On the contrary, there are many reasons to think
00:12of them as networks, either as large clusters working together or as swarms of many individual
00:18nodes spread out in orbit around Earth. Redundancy through quantity instead of perfection through
00:25size. The internet didn't become successful because of a supercomputer, but because of many
00:31small computers working together. It would be surprising if this principle suddenly reversed
00:36itself in space. Here on Earth, computers communicate with each other through fiber optic cables,
00:42which simply means that laser signals are sent and received. The only way to transmit laser signals
00:49more efficiently than through fiber optics is through a vacuum, like in space. Up there,
00:55the swarms are supposed to be connected to each other via laser link, just like Starlink does.
00:59The question of the timeline remains. And here, exaggeration doesn't help. Honesty does.
