Larry Page prediction on AI computing power in space, Digi Mart USA News: Larry Page and Elon Musk no longer speak, but that did not stop Musk from praising a prediction Page reportedly made about the future of artificial intelligence, or at least something Page reportedly said to someone else.
The prediction came secondhand through a popular investing podcast. On the Nov. 4 episode of Invest Like the Best, host Patrick O’Shaughnessy recalled hearing that Page was asked how much of the world’s computing power, the servers that run AI and everything else online, would eventually be in space.
Page’s reported answer was “five nines,” or 99.999%.
Musk shared the clip on X on Sunday. “Larry Page has made many accurate predictions and this is one of them,” he wrote.
The endorsement aligns with Musk’s own position. SpaceX, which absorbed his AI company xAI this year, wants to build AI data centers in space.
Earlier this month, Musk argued that AI hardware could be easier to cool in orbit than on Earth.
Google is also testing the idea. Its Project Suncatcher chips recently generated their first AI response in orbit.
The two billionaires fell out in 2015, after Musk recruited a top Google AI researcher to co-found OpenAI, according to Yahoo! Finance.
