I am no Elon fan but the biggest obstacle to AI is definitely power and then cooling. Space solves both.

Hard to argue with the basic idea here.

How does space solve cooling?

It's much more difficult to cool things in space than on earth.

I'd be more interested in how they'll deal with radiation hardening than the cooling factor when compared to how the JWST currently handles it.
