I'm going to build off a long standing compounding reality of what's yet to come as the pieces have time and time again folded into place.
The world is circling towards orbital compute. Compute that lives in orbit, powered by solar, cooled by vacuum, and beamed down as data instead of electricity.
@elonmusk's been sketching this for years: Starlink satellites as a distributed GPU mesh, with
@Tesla's AI6-Next-gen fabricated class training clusters (Currently powered and partnered by
@nvidia eventually riding the same constellation.
The
@X plus
@SpaceXAI integration angle is the real leap. If
@grok's inference runs on satellites that also carry the network (like Grok
@bot), you get zero-latency global distribution, no data centers, no power grid, no latency tax. That's not cloud computing's successor, it's the end of the data center as a concept.
The simulation question is where it gets interesting. If compute becomes essentially free and infinite, the bottleneck shifts from processing power to energy and physics. You'd be simulating reality on hardware that is reality's infrastructure.
@Tesla_Optimus steps in place.
