"向太空，要算力！" 在太空部署超全球规模的算力 马斯克在近期的一次访谈中提出了颇有"天马行空"意味的观点。他认为，随着地球上的电力增长受阻， 太空将成为AI部署的最佳场所，人类可能在三年内实现这一愿景。他计划通过SpaceX每年向轨道发射 100吉瓦算力，目标是超越地球算力总和。 马斯克指出了AI背后能源供给的现实情况：除中国外，全球电力产出增长近乎停滞。而芯片算力需求 呈指数级增长，地面能源供给无法匹配。随着芯片产能释放，到今年年底，人类将面临芯片不断堆砌却 无法开机的局面。 "在地面扩大电力规模，比在太空扩大更困难。太空中太阳能板的效率大约是地面的5倍，且不需要电 池。"马斯克说，太空没有昼夜循环、季节性变化、云层或大气层，其中仅大气层就会导致大约30%的 能量损失。太阳能电池板在太空产生的电力大约是地面的5倍。 他预测，太空是迄今为止放置AI最便宜的地方。三年内（36个月内或30个月内）太空将成为人类部署 AI的首选。 借助高频发射能力，马斯克的SpaceX或成为一个超大规模的AI服务商。马斯克说，SpaceX正准备实现 每年1万次发射，甚至可能每年2万或3万次。SpaceX发射到太空的AI将超过地球 ...

"向太空，要算力！" 马斯克近日在一次访谈中表示，未来3年内，太空将成为部署AI（包括数据中心等）最具经济性的地点。地球能源增长面临多重瓶颈，而太空中 太阳能的效率高出数倍，且无需应对昼夜、天气、大气层等影响。 他表示，未来"仿真数字人类"（即AI）将远超人类数量。在此背景下，控制AI不是重点，当务之急是确保其价值观与人类文明的延续目标一致。 2026年内或实现AI对人类能力的全面数字化模拟，这将彻底改变许多行业。 此外，马斯克日前再次就美国债务问题发出严厉警告，并表示，若没有人工智能（AI）和机器人技术，美国肯定会破产。 马斯克在近期的一次访谈中提出了颇有"天马行空"意味的观点。他认为，随着地球上的电力增长受阻，太空将成为AI部署的最佳场所，人类可能 在三年内实现这一愿景。他计划通过SpaceX每年向轨道发射100吉瓦算力，目标是超越地球算力总和。 马斯克指出了AI背后能源供给的现实情况：除中国外，全球电力产出增长近乎停滞。而芯片算力需求呈指数级增长，地面能源供给无法匹配。随 着芯片产能释放，到今年年底，人类将面临芯片不断堆砌却无法开机的局面。 "在地面扩大电力规模，比在太空扩大更困难。太空中太阳能板的效率 ...
