I remember another hacker news commentator describing these orbital data centers as a obviously bad idea to the point where any investments into that technology are incomprehensible. I share that sentiment, is there something I'm missing?

- gmerc 10mo agoThe point is to take the money, you see. It's the idiots who give it (which will involve looting the federal government for years to come) who will be screwed, not the guys running the scam. This should be evident after AI now. The entire industry is a narrative manufacturing machine aimed at separating investors from their money. That's all there is to it.

I wonder how many of these apparent start-up scams turned out to have genuine value.
