It needs a single use case to justify its existence. And I am pretty sure it has one. The question is will google reveal it? Probably not.

Even as some sort of failsafe compute for when some meteor hits the earth - already enough for a government to pay 10000x premium for it and it will bring in cash.

Obviously this is not intended to play in the same league as common enterprise datacenter.

That’s even more crazy.

No one is going to give a shit about compute if an asteroid hits us. If we survive it, it’ll turn into a resource war within weeks. We’ll be back to the Stone Age.

The only feasible thing I can see is jurisdiction related and that’s not something we should be encouraging. I mean we’ll just end up jamming data centres from the ground.
