What law of physics do orbital data centers violate? You must have learned some strange physics.

How about the physics of space radiation and radiative cooling.

The guy has to rent out his terrestrial data centers because he can't make use of them.

We probably don't need to pollute space with dead GPU's.

note the scalable in there. Even under best case assumptions, it's only a good fit for edge coprocessing where latency is super important. You're not going to power the world's compute with a self healing Dyson sphere (but if you think that, I've got something to sell you).

Thermodynamics.
