You're right on that perspective. I should clarify. I mean decades+ when compute and power begins to realistically make sense where we can start planning such a long term strategy. I personally think our cislunar / moonbase efforts are a better effort to put energy and resources into.

There's a very narrow band of sun-synchronous orbit with consistent enough sunlight to make orbital data centers viable. Even with a tight constellation of 500,000 to 1,000,000 satellites packed into that band, it still doesn't make economic sense compared to what terrestrial data centers can do. At 500,000 satellites you're looking at maybe 50 GW of solar power. Then factor in the lifespan of LEO at ~5 years you're looking at hundreds of satellite launches daily to maintain that infrastructure.

Now work is being done for increasing solar access (Starcatcher) and others are working on improving LEO refueling and repair capabilities, but I would say we're decade+ away from establishing any true compute infrastructure in orbit.

For what it's worth I actually like the Vatican's take on AI. I hope they keep this perspective and don't allow OpenAI/Anthropic to influence. I think you're right this is more of a publicity stunt on the tech side.

Their Defeating Nondeterminism in LLM Inference was interesting for me. Worth reading their others!

I immediately thought this was an update by Deepset and their Haystack framework. https://haystack.deepset.ai/

Just FYI.
