Fun fact to keep you awake tonight: Just had a chat with an atmospheric chemist and the best comparison she could come up with for the pollution that would result from burning up 1 million "AI datacenter" satellites in Earth's atmosphere is a nuclear war.

@sundogplanets Wouldn't *launching* that many of them have even more atmospheric impact??? (btw I had written off "AI datacenter satellites" as a really bad joke and ignored them, but I see more and more serious people like yourself worrying over them. This in itself wil keep me awake. I'll read up tomorrow.)

@paul_ipv6 Oh god what a horrible term uugghhh I hate that we are talking about this
@sundogplanets @paul_ipv6 I really don't believe this stupid plan is ever going to happen.
Even if they can launch 1000 sats a week, it'll take 20 years (if none fall down). And that's not even taking into consideration the resources needed to build them.
It's more Elon bluster, and just a way for him to get money out of gullible investors. Think Theranos.
There is (unfortunately) plenty of credible schemes to fight.

@sundogplanets sounds like a true musk legacy

"AI winter"... truly scary...
@paul_ipv6 @sundogplanets Isn't that basically the premise of the Martix-movies?

@sundogplanets Gotta say... that fact wasn't all that fun.

That is not what that phrase is supposed to mean.

@Prof. Sam Lawler this is freaking grotesque! -

Why can't we have the future where we are led by scientists and not the stupidest assholes?

@sundogplanets let's take a moment to remember those idiots who spent years talking straight sh!t about the so-called chemtrails. Chemtrails don't exist, idiots do..

"AI winter"... truly scary...
AiWinter is the secret solution to the "Cooking to death" climate collapse.
See? Broligarchs were right when they said AI fill fix #climatecollapse

@sundogplanets Guess it's a good thing it's a near-impossibility to get that many into the atmosphere though it's not like I want half of that number either, even a tenth feels like a lot.

@sundogplanets I have a bunch of shows in the Techtonic pipeline right now but at *some* point if/when you're available, I'd love to talk with you on the show about this risk

@sundogplanets Nuclear war, but without plutonium so a little different.

@sundogplanets then what?
