Analyst predicts Dyson swarm of GPUs orbiting the sun by late 2030s

This reply agrees that orbital compute—described more accurately as a constellation of individual GPU racks—is likely to eventually succeed. The author significantly increased their odds on a "Dyson sphere" (specifically a Dyson swarm of GPU racks orbiting the sun) emerging by the late 2030s, suggesting that such compute infrastructure will not remain as mere racks in Earth orbit for long.
