Tell me if I'm wrong, but with the shielding they have on the ISS doesn't it have issues that consumer grade computers they use last a few months due to various radiation and heat that they die? So an AI data center is going to be insane to protect long enough to make its components useful.

Yep. Radiation is deadly to computers, and without the atmosphere to protect you there is a LOT of radiation in space.
