OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is ready to disagree with Elon Musk on a number of things. Most recently, sharing comments regarding the space data center plan pioneered by Elon Musk through his company SpaceX, Sam Altman said that it is still too early, and it doesn't make sense to develop it this decade.
A number of factors are said to be limiting the success of its implementation, including the cost of launching into space, in addition to the costs and difficulties of maintaining it in space. Today itself, a number of things are taken into account in maintaining and upgrading data centers, and if it is spaced, the difficulties are multiplied.
However, Sam Altman said that it is not impossible for data centers to be successful in the future. He also said that space is suitable for a number of things, but for the development of data centers, it may not be the time yet.
This comment was made at an event held in India. Previously, Elon Musk had united the SpaceX and xAI companies, and aimed to develop data centers in space. Besides Elon Musk, Google has also expressed its intention to open a data center in space, as early as 2027.
