Check out MIT SEI founder, @ariel_ekblaw in conversation with @nxthompson on how AI will transform how we think about space infrastructure. #AIDataCenters #SpaceStations #Ringworlds
nxthompson@nxthompson

This is one of the more interesting cases I’ve heard for why we should put AI data centers in space. Yes, it would benefit a few billionaires, but it could also lessen the environmental toll on Earth. And we’re going to need to cut AI's carbon footprint in as many ways as we can. Space architect @ariel_ekblaw and I went deep on the opportunities—and many challenges—of building AI infrastructure in orbit. Watch our conversation here: youtube.com/watch?v=zBCK0G… Produced by @atlanticrethink, The Atlantic's creative marketing studio, in collaboration with @PwC.

I had a terrific time talking to @ariel_ekblaw for the first episode of the new season of The Most Interesting Thing in AI. Ariel is a space architect—one of the coolest job titles I’ve heard—and an expert on a controversial idea in tech right now: AI data centers in space. We talked through how realistic it actually is, and got into lots of other topics, including what it will take to construct habitats in orbit and how soon humans might live on Mars. You can watch the full interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=zBCK0G… Produced by @atlanticrethink, The Atlantic's creative marketing studio, in collaboration with @PwC.
