## Quote — verbatim

> Self-cooling, continuous data centers with 30% more efficiency and half the latency to power AI: satellite data centers. So it's not too far in the future we're going to have data centers in space, and the question is how do these data centers need to be networked — is it going to be centralized, decentralized? I would bet they're decentralized.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Extends the energy argument — a square mile of solar gives ~2.2GW but batteries/cooling fail in deserts, so orbit solves continuous solar power.
