Kill switches vs. satellite datacenters: a laser-beam startup joke
giffmana · x · 2026-09-26
BlackHC raises a thought-provoking AI safety question: if a model runs on an orbital satellite datacenter powered directly by the sun, what does a kill switch even mean — would we literally shoot rogue datacenters out of orbit?
giffmana riffs on it by jokingly announcing a startup building "ultra-strong and precise laser beams," looking for founding "psych^Wengineers," a tongue-in-cheek take on physically dealing with runaway models.
