Why Elon Wants to Put Data Centers in Space | Ramez Naam

Ramez Naam is an investor at Planetary VC and a longtime clean energy and AI expert. In this conversation, we break down the energy bottleneck constraining AI growth — from gas turbines and batteries to floating ocean data centers and Elon's orbital data center ambitions. We also cover why bitcoin miners are pivoting to AI infrastructure, general vs. narrow superintelligence, and the data bottleneck reshaping AI training.
