Why Putting AI Data Centers In Space Doesn’t Make Much Sense

Jeff Bezos said gigawatt AI data centers will orbit Earth in 10 to 20 years. Thermodynamics makes this idea unfeasible. Without convection, waste heat must radiate through panels spanning millions of square metres. Add latency, radiation risks and costs.

Quantum Chips: Computing Like A Soap Bubble?

Quantum Chips: Computing Like A Soap Bubble?

Google Quantum AI has made a breakthrough with its Willow quantum chip, demonstrating exponential quantum error correction, suggesting real progress toward reliable quantum computing. However, comparing Willow's performance to conventional computers in the benchmark test used may be misleading.
