> network latency I realize that's one of the first things that comes to mind. Either you beam power down or you beam compute down/"real time" communication... but I thought you could do something like "ML training" or anything else where the compute process does not need to be shared until it's done. On a side note, are the underwater servers better? I suppose that's easier to get to than space. The communication is there(transatlantic cables perhaps). Another side note, what if we could embed "servers" in an asteroid to hitch a ride... nvm the logistics of doing that. But another way to extend our existence/influence. RTG/solar for power.
