The sad truth is it will take an outbreak here in the states B4 anyone will do bupkis (spl ?) and even then it will be a big time uphill battle...saints preserve us
Don't let the hype and supposed altruistic motives fool you... this has very little if nothing at all to do with "significantly reducing the environmental impact associated with terrestrial data centers"... that's the come-on! It has everything to do with an effort to safeguard the infrastructure by placing it in an untouchable domain... space... away from the threat of anticipated sabotage by an unruly population who will finally realize that it's their prison wall.
Oh! I forgot to mention... it's the same old game of problem (land-grab, dramatic electricity & water consumption)... Reaction (public adverse reaction & push-back)... Solution (Space)... Ya just got to hand it to these assholes... they're not stupid... we are!!! LingOL!
What's worse is that we've been programmed by Hollywood for a long time now to accept the bifurcation as well as castration. See Elysium, District 9, Children of Men, etc.
We'll read that link shortly. Thanks for sharing and for the comment.
That's the role of Hollywood... to prep the population with entertainment propaganda... they're like a pump... it's the population that's getting primed... :)
Great commentary on your 'notes from the edge of civilization'. Since I don't watch mainstream TV or news much it's always nice to get a fresh, off the cuff and often satirical look at the world and it's craziness. It's a pleasure to see what you've dug up and presented in a thoughtful way, even if I don't always agree with your analysis or conclusions. You leave space for that, and inspire many ideas and introspection in the comments as well.

The scamdemic is far from over.. it's just under contract with a new marketing manager.
The reality of AI is moving into orbit (literally)...

Yes! You get it, for sure.
