The "girls FTW" email chain, in which Epstein gets Ghislaine to blow Elon off, is sadly fabricated, with the guy who did it expressing regret that it's turned into a distraction from his legitimate emails--like, for example, this one:

I'm sure you could tuck a 13" MacBook pro in a light sleeve into a seat pocket or under your seat on top of your life vest package and have it missed.

Can confirm. Worked for a jetsetting guy who tucked his laptop between the seats once and it wasn't found by the cleaners at his airport, so it went on to the next airport.

I've also (different job) had to arrange for human ashes to be transported and they don't travel in the cabin in anything resembling a laptop case, so flight attendants believing his story is about as realistic as getting the plane turned back.

So why all the bluster from Musk during the fall out with Trump, with saying Trump is in the Epstein files? Elons in there too?
Or was he just very confident that he never indulged in the activities on the island?

Elmo smugly thinks that just because he didn't get invited to the party with the Kool Kids Klub on Pedo Island, that he's blameless, despite it being very obvious that he WANTED to go there and his GIRLS FTW line shows that he knew exactly what was going on there. The GigaAutist only ratted out Diaper Donny because he was Big Mad that 47 got invited and they told him "sorry, you missed the big rager that all the popular kids at high school got invited to!". :story:
 

Jesus Christ, Elon thinks that putting data centers in orbit with solar panels would fix the power and environmental issue.

1. Solar panels won't be able to power it, they require way more than that
2. Getting them into orbit is expensive and data centers are gigantic
3. GPUs and other hardware doesn't last more than a few years at the rate in which AI uses it, and good luck replacing that shit when it's in space

Guess we will just have to hang him for the other stuff.

Like Trump, all of Elon's success is built on a combination of theft and arrogance, and the cowardice of others to not call them out for it. Elon called out Trump for the same reason Trump claimed he would release the files- thinking that they would simply never be released.

Same reason he brought out the Cybertruck without brakes sufficient to be able to crawl down a shallow hill normally

He really did the "I'm a lame square" defense? That's probably the best move.

I recommend archiving everything immediately. Just use Nitter, it's more reliable than archiving X directly:

1. They could cut the power consumption of the chips while retaining most of the performance. Like how you can cut your GPU's power in half by undervolting, but easily get over half the performance. For the design, they plan to use Starlink v3, or a modified version using that as the base. From a quick search, I see estimates of 65-100 kW (peak) per Starlink v3. So maybe they can get in the ballpark of up to 100 accelerators working at once, but there will have to be some power going to other functions, particularly communication. Maybe they would have them communicate only with other Starlink satellites using laser links, without any sat-to-ground functionality.

They are apparently looking to manufacture solar cells.

If the concern is cooling the chips and radiating heat away from the satellites, just know that they have to do the same for Starlink. So if Starlink v3 is designed to handle 100 kW of power, that's probably going to be the limit for their "AI datacenter satellite".

2. They admit it's contingent on Starship working and making cost to low Earth orbit much cheaper. I have ranted about how big parts of the Starship program could fail, like in-orbit refilling, and landing the Starship (upper stage) intact, and it could still result in cheaper $/kg to LEO than Falcon 9/Heavy. They need in-orbit refilling to land astronauts on the Moon and fulfill Artemis obligations, but not to dump stuff in orbit. They may be able to lose every upper stage and still come in cheaper than Falcon 9 (which also expends every upper stage). If they recover and reuse them, it will be better. Stainless steel Starships should be cheaper than the carbon fiber and aluminum body of Falcon, they are targeting as low as $250k for Raptor engines, and plan to make it all assembly line style. But they have to make it reliable first.

3. Every Starlink satellite is required by the FCC to deorbit and burn up within 5 years of mission completion, typically happening under 7 years after launch. It would be the same for "AI datacenter satellites". They would launch these GPUs/accelerators with no intention of ever repairing or recovering them. Malfunctioning satellites with perfectly good Blackwell AI accelerators or whatever would be deorbited early. Doesn't sound so environmentally friendly.

AI hardware is depreciating fast, and there's an annual cadence for new AI hardware from Nvidia and AMD. So what is deployed today could be worth... less in a few years, although not nothing. They may have picked a lot of the low-hanging fruit already too, such as moving to lower-precision data types (e.g. FP4).

It sounds like AI bubble bullshit, but it may be feasible, or feasible enough to bilk investors before the bubble pops. I don't see why they couldn't plop new datacenters in places like Mexico, with fairly low latency, if NIMBYism made it completely infeasible to find locations.

That doesn't look like Araki's style at all. It doesn't even look like the anime designs.

yeah, but how much of the time is in peak power production

if u can reach 100kw for a short period of time but ur avg power is in the 20kw range, that gives u a major constraint, it'd still work, but don't plan on 100kw when that's the maximum

They should be able to get sunlight at least 50% of the time, while in an orbit that takes around 80-90 minutes. They can also recharge batteries while exposed to sunlight.

How they'll be using this power depends on what these are intended for. If they are latency-sensitive to process queries from home Grok lusers, then they may not be operating when they are over the middle of the ocean. If they are meant to provide a lot of AI compute for government/corporate customers, then they may be able to spread workloads over a lot of satellites that are communicating with each other using laser links. But that would be very unusual and introduce a lot of latency, when compared to tens of thousands of accelerators located within the same building.

yeah, that's the kind of issues i was talking about

it's just not worth the effort unless u can convince some investors it's worth it and run away with their money
