    This is interesting but, as a user, I don't really care
    where the data centers are located, as long as the
    service is reliable so I can use LLMs and the other
    AI tools for whatever I need to use them for.

    BTW, AI continues to be amazing, but most people
    still don't seem to know how to optimize it, which is
    unfortunate because you really can make money
    by using AI.

      Gotta figure Narcissus would be pissed.

      Gazin' inta the watah, day aftah day ...

      baskin' in imagined succor ...

      which sumhow kinda worked for a guy who did jus' that ...

      uh oh -- an' then it all dries up bcs Dater Centaur.

      Remember her?

      She was the half-hoss half hooman who could nevah figure a relayshwaahnsip bcs she was half horse half hooman.

      An' in her dusspair she drank alla Narcissus' watah, bullievin' it to be wine.

      Meantime, way below where the watah was, Minotaurs are like the frick happened to the showah?

      Poisnlly speakin', I gaht an eye out now for wherevah data centers are located.

      They are H2O vamps, an' their output may naht facilitate 'rufflectschwaahn'.

    Sounds simpler in theory, but I feel like it just moves the hard part elsewhere power, heat control, and keeping those laser links stable in real conditions, scaling that in orbit probably isn't as easy as it sounds
