"Launching a constellation of a million satellites that operate as orbital data centers is a first step toward becoming a Kardashev II-level situation"
THIS IS IN AN FCC FILING NOT A SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK I'M DEAD
I feel like this is a good time for everyone to go read "More Everything Forever" by @adambecker.bsky.social because that completely unrealistic and awful techbro mentality/religion the only way to explain this FCC filing (and that book explains this very clearly!)
Time to go outside and listen to NZ birds as the sun comes up, because fuck SpaceX.

What the actual fuck. It's not April Fools Day, right? This is real?! Fuck you, SpaceX. Maybe this will help regulators realize how fucking shortsighted companies' plans in orbit are?
Surely the FCC won't rubber-stamp-approve this one??... ONE MILLION STARLINKS FUUUUCCCKKKKKK

@sundogplanets The CO2 footprint for the launches alone must be terrible? 🤔

The world's most heartbreaking six-word stories:
1906: For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.
2026: Orbital data centers for artificial intelligence.

Added to my To Read list.
Enjoy the sunrise and buddies. Hope you got a bit of sleep 🤞

@sundogplanets that's it... Imma build a rail gun that can shoot down those satellites

Bezos: Oh yeah? Well AWS will put TWO million data centers in orbit!
China: Let 5 million space data centers bloom!
Musk: Well, then SpaceX will put TEN million centers in orbit!
Bezos: Fine! ELEVENTY million AWS centers!
Musk: Hah! TWELVETY million SpaceX centers! Each with a cool robot!
Bezos: Meh-meh-meh-robot-meh. Amazon has robots.
Musk: But not COOL robots.

@cy @sundogplanets 🤔🤔🤔 so you're saying I should build it on a boat?

@sundogplanets not that it matters, but it also wouldn't budge a thing in the kardashev scale, as it's supposed to measure how much power civilization can harness, and they certainly would pale in comparison to the total amount of earth based computing power, not to mention all the power used in non-computing usage
SpaceX's hype has never been constrained by facts.

@cy @sundogplanets I mean if I'm in international waters with a gun powerful enough to shoot down satellites, I'm pretty sure I'll be good

@sundogplanets it's incredibly embarrassing and pathetic that a lot of the techie sorts with access to power now are people who…like I say, there's no such thing as reading too much science fiction, but there IS such a thing as reading too LITTLE stuff that ISN'T science fiction.

@sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social this rec made me happy to see because it’s published by Hachette (where I work) and I just got a copy from the office to gift to a family member who’s been a bit too AI-optimistic.

@sundogplanets Other than the obvious, how on earth are you supposed to be able to maneuver such a large number of satellites in extremely close proximity in orbit to prevent them from colliding with each other or anything else at all? With that number of satellites, even if just one collision were to occur at some point, it would be beyond disastrous (at worse, we'd have like many thousands of satellites/junk concurrently raining down into Earth kinda thing).

@sundogplanets They will absolutely rubber stamp it. The orange dictator will see to it.

@sundogplanets Orbiting data centres are stupid for a huge range of reasons, not the least powering them, cooling them and fixing them. Just another idiotic idea from Musk (Optimius, Cybertruck, The Boring Company, “Full” self driving, etc….).

@nev Or when you're reading science fiction which was intended to be a warning, and treating it as something that should be done because it's Cool™!

“Orbital data centers are the most efficient way to meet the accelerating demand for AI computing power,”
Demand isn't accelerating, you're forcing it on everyone you assholes!! We can't NOT use it when you make it an integral part of every product you sell ASSHOLES!

@rms We are in an escalating cognitive war — beyond propaganda and consent manufacturing.
It rewrites the narrative of contexts with one goal: empty them of meaning and destabilize them through informational noise.
It doesn't need to convince you.
It just needs to orient and deviate your perception.

Due turiste prendolo il sole in una spiaggia alle Mauritius. Ad un certo punto, dal mare emerge un aitante autoctono completamente nudo.
Una delle due turiste all'amica: ma guarda che bigolo!
Il nero: è bigolo berghé è bagnado!

@jerzone the pull tab > pop top was I think motivated by the idea of reducing litter, you didn't end up with a spicy little bit to chuck out your window. Modern plastic is another mess.
I try to drink my coffee from my travel mug, and water from my bottle, but I do love a fresh bottle or can of seltzer.
