My understanding is that these "datacenters" would be used exclusively for model training, where latency doesn't matter.
It is still an outrageously stupid idea for a zillion other engineering reasons, though.
most moons
Pretty much every moon but Titan. Titan, however, would be excellent for heat dissipation. Long before generative AI was even a thing, scientists have speculated that Titan would be the perfect place for datacenters because low-temperature computation is so much more efficient.
Of course, building a datacenter on Titan would be a several-hundred-trillion dollar endeavor, so... good luck bootstrapping your way into that industry.
It's also clever politics. Minnesota has the largest iron mining operations in the entire United States, so choosing iron as your core battery technology is a smart (albeit cynical) way to drum to some local support with the promise of bringing new demand back to the taconite mines.
Whether that will be strong enough to overcome the extreme negative sentiments around datacenter projects? Who knows...
There have been some pretty high-profile departures from Anthropic over the past few months, so... I dunno, seems like there are plenty of insiders who are unhappy with the company's current trajectory.
Sounds like my Outlook "sent" folder...

That's the neat part — AI comes pre-enshittified!
Overuse of H-1B visas.
It's literally a system of indentured servitude and corpos are just free to abuse it with impunity.
Man... of all the vibe coding tools, Lovable has gotta be one of the most useless, too.
I work with people (all middle managers) who love Loveable because they can type a two sentence description of an app and it will immediately vomit something into existence. But the code it generates is an absolute disaster and the UIs it designs (which is supposed to be its main draw) is some of the most generic crap I've ever seen.
0/10, do not recommend.

Of all the shitty AI products flooding the market right now, Atlassian's Rovo has got to be the most useless I've had the misfortune of using.
They should be hiring more workers to fix their AI slop, not replacing them with even more of it.
