AI’s power shortage shouldn’t be solved on Earth!!!

 Now the explosion in demand for AI computing power driven by generative AI is unstoppable. Both the United States and China are building AI-Data Centers around the world. However, such large-scale power consumption requires not only meeting power generation challenges (nuclear power, wind power...), but also cooling (environmental protection challenges). It may be done in the short term, but it is unusable in the long run. But have you noticed that AI computing only requires electricity, not oxygen and water? In other words, outer space is so cold (heat dissipation is not a problem), and solar panels can generate electricity (power supply) directly facing the sun. If a solar AI computing center is established on an alien planet such as Mercury/Mars/Outer space station, can this problem be solved?

AI的电力缺口不应该在地球解决-去外太空吧

现在大模型驱动下的AI算力需求爆炸已经势不可挡,不论是美国还是中国,都在全球建设算力中心,但是这么大规模的耗电量不仅需要解决发电挑战(核电、风电…),还需要降温(环保挑战),短期还可以,长期看怎么都是不可持续的,但是大家有没有发现,AI计算只需要电,不需要氧气和水,换句话说,外太空那么冷(散热不是问题),太阳能电池板直接面对太阳就可以发电(电力供应),如果在外星球比如水星/火星/太空站建立太阳能AI算力中心是不是就能解决这个问题?
