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.

@paul_ipv6 Oh god what a horrible term uugghhh I hate that we are talking about this
talking about it in terms like this is how we'll get the press and public more aware. hopefully before it's too late.

@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.)

@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..

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 seems fine
