In the investor presentations, its mostly:
Increased solar flux.
Outside any jurisdiction.
That's technically true.
And I assume they'd either be in geosync orbit, networked to each other in LEO like Starlink, or maybe just "training nodes" that don't need constant ground comms.
...Of course, what they leave out is the infeasibility.
The "outside any juristiction" part is probably the main reason here.
Try to seize any evidence from servers that are traveling in space 10000 miles/hour. For now also space weapons are mostly in experimental phase, and I assume would cause a lot of debris in orbit. It makes the thousands of satellites in orbit almost untouchable by any government on earth.
The epstein-class has much to benefit from this.
It might also be playing into the distopyan fantasy of putting a superintelligent AI in earth orbit, so that it becomes unstoppable from earth.
In any case nothing good comes out of this.
