Are orbital data centers all hype, or an actual AI infrastructure solution? l Equity Podcast
Tech companies are racing to build data centers in space, pitching orbital compute as the next frontier for AI infrastructure, even as the technical and economic realities remain far from clear. Add in OpenAI’s massive $122 billion round and Bluesky’s latest AI backlash, and the message is clear: The future of AI is being shaped…

I stopped watching when he said we had labor shortage.
It took over 300 resumes to find work.
And it wasn’t until August 2024 my friend brought me into the company they work for.
This is going to be sold to highest bidder and then the little people will once again be worst off for it.

This makes it even more of a nightmare. And take money out of our pockets, how can we afford robots if we can’t work to buy them. I guess the plan is ww3 and then after 2/3 of earth is dead , then we would need robot labor doing our jobs for us. I come from a poverty life in middle of America, and but actually most , not all. But almost all the people ive met, barley survives as well, they just have more bills

Some people say: AI is just like the printing press or computers. They misunderstand. These inventions of the past have helped us replicate and access information, and accomplish some tasks faster. However, the AI of today and tomorrow has the capacity to think, create, evaluate, learn, solve problems, and complete tasks. Given the platforms of electricity and technology, mechanical embodiment, IoT, 5G, etc., AI is becoming capable of general intelligence – doing most of the things humans do. People who love to work may continue to do so. However, work itself may become something that is done only by people who want to do it, as the economic cost plummets. This is new.

Every robot manufacturer says the same thing: “Theres a labor shortage”. Thats a big f… lie. The unemployment rate of the US in March 2025 was 4.2% for example.
The reality is that companies don’t want to pay salaries that meet basic human needs, thats why they don’t get people interested in their jobs and then say this bullshit.
Robot manufacturers should say “Theres not enough people interested in slave wages, so we are building slaves!”.
If you pay enough, people will do anything and this “fake shortage” will vanish. I’m not against robots, but stop lying.

Ai, in a boring repetitive task, is what the human race wants from a ai robot.
It’s to free up the human from boring AF task. So humans can go on advance learning (school, life nature, relationships with friends, wife/husband, etc etc)
In america, it used to be easy and cheaper to higher imagrants to do repetitive boring task. Because humans in America don’t want to do the same job from what the farmer can afford.

Industry rules are bent a little to adjust to changing demands. Robots cannot. I have to call BS on the improved work production. Companies will not be as robust if they have to increase infrastructure to absorb the downtime related to correct, replace and repair, and set up a unit. It’s cost effective just to replace an actual worker. As mentioned, quick adjustments are made to get things done in almost all companies. I couldn’t imagine a robot stopping a major workflow simply because a box wrapper had one less sticker than the others. Every worker downstream will become frustrated. Automation, I get, but I don’t think this juice is worth the squeeze in the long game. The advantage will go to the company that can adjust.

This is an excellent TED Talk. I met NEO at NVIDIA GTC where crowds were obsessed with watching him vacuum the floors. NEO is the real deal and the work Bernt and team have done is very impressive. Admittedly, the comments toward the end give me pause. The concept of robots building robots, and robots building data centers (for more AI), and robots building chip fabs (for more AI) is also plausible, (and probably exactly what is going to happen), but it still stole my breath away. I suddenly saw this future that is rushing at us so quickly and went: “Oh.” If you watch one TED Talk this week, make it this one.

What’s the plan? I pay you £10,000 for the honour of training your robots then you sell me back the fruits of my labour with a faster version of metal micky. No thanks Mark Zuckerberg.

Can a robot come up with alternative fuel that doesn’t destroy the environment and is replensihable?
Can robots come up with a way to clean the oceans, remove hard metals, microplastic, and harmful bacteria in our drinking water?
Can we create a robot that scans body language to detect any sign of sociopathy and/or psycopathy so we can utilize it as a present-minded polygraph for politicians?
