KI-Rechenzentren in den Orbit zu schießen ist absurd teuer, verschwendet Ressourcen und schadet dem Klima. Dazu kommt ein teures Problem: die Abwärme. Im Vakuum gibt es keine Luft, die Wärme abführt. Die Vorteile? Die Sonne scheint rund um die Uhr. Man braucht keine Baugenehmigung. Und anzünden kann man die Dinger da oben auch nicht. Letzteres wird in Zukunft vermutlich immer wichtiger werden. #ai #datacenters

At Trump's rally in #Ohio last night, #Trump rambled on and on about #DataCenters to dead silence. Of course, all #Republican electeds who aren't in dementia know this issue is wildly unpopular. But we know some people will drink the kool-aid no matter what. That's why we cannot know whether this woman was a real #MAGA or a resister trolling the candidates. Accidentally or deliberately, she made Ohio's R Senate candidate the face of data centers and Sherrod Brown pounced.

At least 14 US states are weighing data-centre moratoriums as communities push back on Big Tech’s power and water grab. HALT NEW MEGA DATA CENTRES until strong, binding rules ensure tech serves people and planet, not billionaire profits. #ai #tech #datacenters #datacentres #bigtech #timetoresist #livesbeforeprofits

Starcloud's AI data-processing hardware is going to the moon! The Seattle-area startup's payload will ride to lunar orbit on #Firefly Aerospace's #Elytra spacecraft, with departure set for as early as 2028. https://www.geekwire.com/2026/starcloud-ai-computing-moon-firefly/ #Starcloud #Moon #Space #Tech #AI #DataCenters

Big Tech is building its AI empire by consuming water, straining energy systems and taking over land, while billionaires pocket the profits and communities pay the price. But people everywhere are resisting. Our future is not theirs to exploit. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/sep/27/people-are-standing-up-and-fighting-back-north-devon-ai-datacentre #timetoresist #bigtech #tech #AI #datacenters

"In a 5-2 vote, the planning commission approved Digital Realty’s proposal to build a two-story, 450,000 square-foot data center along Lexington Avenue between 99th and 103rd streets near the Panasonic Electric Vehicle Battery Plant." However, "the total footprint has since shrunk from 3 million square feet to 1.5 million square feet as the relationship with the potential operator 'didn’t come to fruition'.” The Kansas City Star: Data center project moves forward in De Soto – over opposition. ‘Too much unknown’ https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article317386837.html @KansasCityStar@flipboard.com #datacenters

@nixCraft@mastodon.social #TechBros are outperforming #FossilFuels in cornering energy markets, just from the #DataCenters front alone. When SHTF, control as much vital root infrastructure, as possible. #Capitalism #greed at its *finest*.

I've decided to start a project to help neighbors of existing data centers and proposed data centers to monitor noise using <$300 field units. I haven't built it yet, but I have done two other monitor projects with success, so I do not anticipate this will be any different... just a different set of variables and sensors. Here's a page introducing the HDC Sound Monitor Project. (Just this page for now.) https://salemdata.net/HDC/HDC_Sound_Monitor.html #DataCenters #DIY #Noise #Environment #ESP32

Yesterday: members of Abolish AI! ( @abolish-ai ) and Scientist Rebellion Denmark interrupted the seminar "How do we decarbonize data centers?" at the Data Center Forum in Copenhagen. As the world burns, we simply cannot afford more extractivist, exploitative, mind-numbing plagiarism-regurgitating centers in Denmark or anywhere! Down with data centers! Down with AI! #AI #DataCenters #Climate #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #AbolishAI #Science @ScientistRebellion@social.rebellion.global

#DataCenters #Australia Add your name to our open letter today and tell the government: data centres must be powered by new renewable energy.

"James Bender, a 20-year fiber optics industry worker, confronted the Paulding County Board of Commissioners over data cable installations he's been seeing across the county. He claims the companies doing the installations work with massive amounts of data, like for a data center, and the infrastructure itself is a huge $2 million investment." We need more people, on both sides of the aisle, with expertise coming out against this infrastructure and covert contract work the citizens never agreed to. No one wants these data centers. #Georgia #ai #datacenters #noai

Data centers in space are a stupid idea. Quantum AI data centers in space are a way stupider one. I have wanted to write this for two years, and an investor's question finally gave me the excuse. In vacuum, the only way to shed heat is radiation. Starcloud's 5 GW proposal needs 10 square kilometers of radiator, about three times Central Park, plus 16 square kilometers of solar panels. So, in short, for this to work we need a structure with the footprint of half of Manhattan and the weight of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier - seven times the mass of everything currently in Earth orbit combined, parked in a debris field where fragments arrive at 10 km/s, taking hundreds of debris hits a day, with 69,000 kilograms of pressurized glycol per second flowing through the pipes behind those radiators. At 2025's record launch rate, lifting it would take every rocket on Earth 35 years. Every strike on one of those pipes is a catastrophic rupture, not a leak - and at this size it would be hundreds of them per day. No crew. No repair vehicle exists... Few people tried to model the costs and optimistically concluded that orbital compute is 3x to 10x terrestrial. They did not consider one tenth of what is really needed - the coolant plumbing, the 350 GPUs a day that fail under training load and cannot be swapped, the deorbiting of 100,000 tonnes, the resonance problem, and many others. Add those and the real cost for the Starcloud's proposed data center could run in trillions of dollars. And this idea got funded hundreds of millions of dollars? Then someone proposed putting superconducting quantum computers up there. Millikelvin cryostats. Helium-3 from weapons stockpiles (500 fridges would eat two thirds of world supply). Daily calibration by people who cannot reach the hardware. Cosmic rays that crash error correction chip-wide. For a quantum AI advantage nobody has demonstrated on any commercial workload. Hyperscale orbital data centers are decades away, if ever. Nobody pitching quantum AI in orbit has solved a single one of the three problems it stacks. They are counting on the VCs not to ask and to be sufficiently impressed with the concentration of buzzwords. https://postquantum.com/quantum-computing/quantum-ai-data-centers-space/ #QuantumComputing #DataCenters #SpaceTech #QuantumAI #VentureCapital
