"You already have a data center in space?":Internet reacts after Elon Musk reveals Starlink software is very well suited to train "Super Intelligence"

Elon Musk has claimed that Starlink's software can also train Super Intelligence, which is another name for AI (Artificial Intelligence). He added that it can move "vast amounts of data" in space.

Starlink is primarily a telecommunications company that uses satellites to provide high-speed internet across the world. Elon Musk launched it in 2015, and its parent company is SpaceX. As the company continues its work towards internet connectivity in various countries, Musk has claimed that it can also train superintelligence.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, November 10, he wrote:

"Turns out that the Starlink software, built for managing the movement of vast amounts of data through space and to the ground, is also very well suited to training super intelligence"

Users online have reacted to this claim, as one wrote:

"Are you trying to say that you already have a data center in space?"

@elonmusk So you built the nervous system in space before building the brain on Earth. Interesting order of operations.

Some users also disagreed with Musk and his claims, as one wrote,

@elonmusk None of you have intelligent software. You have predictive language software running agents to complete tasks for the end user. That is garbage, not intelligence.

The SpaceX founder has previously spoken about potentially building data centers in space. In an X post on November 3, he wrote:

"Data centers in space looking pretty appealing right now"

He also recently backed Google co-founder Larry Page's alleged claim that a majority of the computing will be shifted to space in the near future. Patrick O'Shaughnessy said on a podcast that he heard Page claim that 99.999% of computing will move to space.

Musk quoted the conversation and wrote that Page "has made many accurate predictions and this is one of them."

BT puts collaboration with Elon Musk's Starlink on hold amidst controversy regarding its functioning in Ukraine

In October, Ukraine slammed Starlink, citing networking issues. They claimed that the technology didn't work properly, leaving them vulnerable to potential attacks from Russia.

Elon Musk then shared a post on X, claiming that the Ukrainian military had allegedly "violated Starlink terms of service." He added that they were allegedly found using it to build offensive drones instead of self-defence.

Amidst this controversy, BT CEO Allison Kirkby has put their partnership with Starlink on hold. In a report by the Financial Times, published on Monday, November 9, Kirkby claimed that the partnership was “ready to launch”. However, they will now hold it until “the noise has died down” regarding the controversy.

She added:

“[BT was] cautious on how Starlink might be viewed at the moment considering what happened in Ukraine a couple of weeks ago. We will only launch it proactively when we feel the noise has died down a little bit on Elon Musk and Starlink as a result of the Ukraine thing.”

“Offering the best products for our customers means working with the best partners. Starlink has far more satellites than any other operator and they are launching more each year. The demand is there and we’ll launch satellite broadband in the coming months,” she added.

Meanwhile, Musk has also alleged interference from Donald Trump regarding the slow speeds in Ukraine. However, The Telegraph reports that the suggestion came from the billionaire himself, which the POTUS accepted.
