Smells like a cover story for military AI module validation testing.
The AI industry spends crazy money to reduce latency and increase density. The act of placing resources in space, to be used by people on earth, only increases latency, and reduces density. The performance metrics are ops/power/space/$, not G ratings, unless its being validated for flight.
NIMBY numbers rising on recent data center buildouts.
People who think AI is going to destroy humanity.
People experiencing real financial hardship due to AI job displacements.
If google is going to issue press releases, which sounds better ?
"Google putting data centers in space, not your backyard"
or
"Google testing TPU chips for doomsday skynet laser weapons"
The boys at the pentagon procurement department can read between the lines.
