Google's October 1 Launch Puts Data-Center Techs Next

AI Decoded

Google's Suncatcher project could put data-center technicians on the chopping block—not coders first. Ars Technica reports Google's first orbital data-center test is slated for October 1, using satellites carrying Google's AI processors. The open question is whether orbit can actually beat the cost and reliability of Earth-bound power and cooling. Tell the coworker who says data-center techs are safe: are they, or is Google moving the target?
