ok ok hear me out. what if we did space datacenters but on earth? like we build them all rugged and good, ready to withstand temperatures, low maintenance, fits on the back of a truck, all ready to go to space, but then we ... don't send them to space. sending things to space is expensive. if we keep them on earth, we can send them to places by truck, which is a lot cheaper than space. i don't know what i was thinking about buying land and building a building. that's so modernist. we have $5M and I thought we needed to raise to amortize the fixed costs of operating a site. it was stressing me out. but then i remembered space datacenters. where we're going, we don't need a site. i mean, yea, we do, and we have to lease it, but we'll lease anything where it's cool, has cheap power, and has fiber. if the public utility decides to rug us and raise prices, no lawyers needed, just fire the gas thrusters! actually we don't even need gas thrusters, we'll put it on a truck and go to the next leased site. the minimum quantity we can do this at is one, and one should only cost like $3M. we have $5M, we don't even need to raise, just build the one, watch it print money, then build the next one with the money. self replicating space datacenters on earth. so yea there's a lot of software work to do to make tinygrad run LLMs at really high tok/s and be ready to deploy for the RDNA5 launch. gotta focus on that. raising money, buying land, and reading utility contracts are rabbit holes. got out just in time. i'm telling you guys, it's the next big thing. space datacenters, but on earth. you heard it here first.
