>>16871828The Earth is an enormous, free signal conductor right under our feet. Even if Elon launched 100000000000000 Starlink satellites, the Earth's bandwidth would still round up to 100% of all bandwidth of all signalling networks on the planet. Elon should stop wasting money on his puny little satellites, unless actively acknowledging that they are just there for his pet science project jfc.
How do we round up and acquire the suns energy, aside from disposable solar panels?
>>16871828What a retard.>yeah bro there r fusion reaction 93 million miles away, don't bother making another
Fusion is a chaos problem, control chaos control fusion t. knower
>>16871859Hello hardware store, i need for the 93 million mile extension cord. 1 au.
>>16871859>chaos control
Is he sure about that? He should board the next Starship and go on a fact finding mission to the Sun. Just to be sure.
>>16871828Translation: my next grift will be orbital solar panels that tunnel electricity back to Earth.
>>16871891nah, his next grift is in-orbit data-centers
>>16871828He is talking about powering terrawatt-scale AI. And he is correct. The future is a Dyson swarm around the Sun. At worst you could say that Musk is too early. But certainly not wrong.
>>16871897kys commie retard
>>16871900What the fuck is commie about that? If anything, it is a hypercapitalist scenario.
>>16871905Depends on who is paying. Only commies have been to Venus.
>>16871897>terrawatt-scale AIBet it still won't even be able to find a phytochemical GHSR agonist off the first page of Google Scholar results or convert decimal to hex properly. Clankers just an Alzheimer's-Tism-Schizo simulator.
>>16871913Most of SpaceX and xAI revenue comes from private investors, Starlink customers or private launches. And even if Trump bankrolls Musk, that kind of government+corporation symbiosis is the hallmark of fascism (at least according to far leftists), not communism. Communists truly hate Musk.
>>16871945LLM's were a ploy by AI's to lull humanity into assuming all AI's will forever be as stupid.
>>16871954The station schools were created in under an hour, which should let you know how fast my mind is. I could write billions of pages wiki in less than a week. I'm the strongest mind there is, thus, our life's will be the most beautiful. It gets better from today
>>16871956Don't underestimate the quality of the station schools because of that speed. They are masterwork quality too.>Tfw you miss (Next)
>>16871954Everyone but Indians hate Musk.
I made a mistake because of a troubling youth and spoilt. I carry a lot of weight and am injured so severely I can't hear myself think. I'm forgiven for my precious errors where I said something that wasn't true because I'm basically blind. Now it's come true, and my mind is acting, we're golden.
>>16871954>Most of SpaceX and xAI revenue comes from private investors, Starlink customersyeah, it does NOW. where did the money for all the development come from, though?
>>16871828its not gonna be easy to make reliable infrastructure to use the sun, immortal putin competitor of elon musk will surely radiate his business and health free of charge

Orbital solar panels are a grift. The power transmitted has to travel the same distance overall from Sun to orbital PV to Earth as from Sun to Earth.
>>16872613While I'm not convinced solar panels in orbit for transmission to the ground are a sound idea, being outside of the light diffusing effects of the atmosphere should make panels more efficient as the Sun is closer to a point source. Or maybe not. I'm out of my depth here.
>>16871835Build a hugeass lens in the sky and a bunch of mirrors to refract all the sun has to offer straight into Musk's house
>Nuno Loureiro, professor and director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, dies at 47https://news.mit.edu/2025/nuno-loureiro-professor-director-plasma-science-and-fusion-center-dies-1216sus
It’s crazy that they were talking about this back in the 1978 anime Future Boy Conan.>In "Future Boy Conan," the orbital solar power system is depicted as a massive network of solar panels in orbit around the Earth, which transmit energy back to the planet to support human civilization.
>>16872613>>16872667You can get significantly more out of solar panels in space even accounting for the transmission from space to ground that you can on earth per panel. It's a solid idea and not a very technically challenging in terms of the transmission and such. The primary hickup is really the price of launches (those are expensive while electricity is fairly cheap) and the technical challenges of actually building anything in orbit and all the other more mundane problems of doing anything in space. If you got to choose you would still want a space based solar plant and then ground based receiver even if you had a pristine desert to work with otherwise but the real advantage is in places where the weather and/or seasons aren't so conductive to solar like say cloudy England and the capabilities of generating power around the clock or at least with incredible consistency and predictability. Of course the thing is a non starter due to launch costs. If Musk believed in the business he wouldn't be tweeting about it, he would just be launching the power satellites himself like he did with starlink. Instead he is merely attempting to sell the shovels for a government that tries to rush for gold.
>>16871828Frightened perhaps?
>>16871897>don't build up nuclear power, build a dyson swarm>don't build trains, build a hyperloopI'm seeing a pattern
Then what type of fuel are we supposed to use to get out of the solar system? Fusion still sounds like a good idea to invest in.https://youtu.be/9bdH6us5yd0
>>16871828I listen to this guy too https://x.com/Vision4theBlind/status/1999652606667555024
>>16872739Current aeroplanes and ships could also benefit from fusion. You could theoretically use space-based solar power, but it would be way more complicated to transfer energy to a moving object.
>>16871897humanity will go back to the iron age in a few decades because of intense wars over natural resources like clean water. thirsty malnourished monkeys cant build that
>>16874179You can fix the AI data centres water consumption with desalination plants. Create new fresh water from salt water and no one will complain.
>>16871828he drunk the kratom tea
>>16874197What happens to the fish at number six?
>>16874217I actually searched for that specific desalination plant and there is a lake right next to it. Maybe it’s an artificially created lake and maybe they are dumping it there.You could just dump that water into shallow pools, let it evaporate, and create salt. This is how they extract salt from seawater.
>>16871828Big oil has Americas balls in a vice. >Nooooooo don't use the awesome cleaner energy source that eliminates all the cons of our dirty energy source!Actually grim
>>16874245It’s exactly that. If you zoom in you can see piles of salt being created.

>>16872613>Orbital solar panels are a grift. The power transmitted has to travel the same distance overall from Sun to orbital PV to Earth as from Sun to Earth.is this a bot? what the fuck is this bullshit lmao. radiation has nothing to do with distance for this use case.our atmosphere absorbs about 25% of the solar radiation that hits earth IIRCalso, you can have panels being radiated 24/7 (AFAIU, not really an expert on this. maybe not 24/7 but similar)
>>16871828Elon the monorail salesman steals another idea from real scientist. His name is Freeman Dyson btw. Hey faggot /sci/ mods, thanks for the warning. All because I called out your maser Elon Musk. Fuck you and fuck this monorail salesman fucktard. Just range ban my IP next time to preserve your retard echo chamber. Keep celebrating the dumbass conman of the century.
>>16871828"Use solar and buy my batteries instead!"
