I didn't have time to watch the videos, but in the text I didn't see anything that addresses data center operations requiring manual intervention.

Swapping out obsolete or failing TPUs. Rewiring or replacing connections. "Listening" for sounds indicating an equipment failure.

What are the proposals to address these needs?

Launch spacewalk repair crew. Manned or robotics teleoperated.

Presumably the plan is to deorbit all failing or obsolete systems. It’s phenomenally wasteful.

The most obvious solution is to discard.
