Deep Space Data Centers: AI's Ticket to Infinite Compute?

by Martin Goetzinger on Dec 11 2025
Deep space data centers are moving from sci-fi to launch manifest. Perpetual sunlight, radiative cooling, and laser-linked orbital clusters promise near-limitless, ultra-low-cost compute for AI, sidestepping Earth’s power and land constraints. First demos are already in orbit in 2025; gigawatt-scale farms look plausible by the early 2030s. Here’s what it means, how realistic it is, and how the data actually gets home.

Is America's New Sovereign Wealth Fund Secretly the Foundation for a National UBI?

by Martin Goetzinger on Nov 20 2025
In 2025, the U.S. government is quietly taking direct equity stakes in Intel, rare-earth giants, and other strategic firms.  Is this the first bricks in America’s long-awaited sovereign wealth fund? Officially it’s about beating China and securing supply chains. But with AI threatening millions of jobs, a question is bubbling up: Is Uncle Sam secretly building the financial engine for a national Universal Basic Income? Dive into the evidence, the pushback, and why this “unconventional” fund might one - day - put real money in every American’s pocket.

We’ve trained generations to compete with machines instead of nurturing creativity, empathy, and craftsmanship. The irony is brutal: the future may give us more free time than ever, but we’ve forgotten how to use it meaningfully.
