But if cost of the space GPUs is higher then the land GPUs, why would demand matter? Is there limited land? Are space GPUs better for some reason, like perhaps they can't be regulated as easily or because our AGI overlords will be less vulnerable to mobs with pitchforks?
What’s software that would benefit from running in space? The only thing I can imagine is processing of data generated in space so you need less downlink or can reduce latency, everything else can be calculated wherever you want, no?
At this point I'm going to assume that anyone pushing datacenters in space wants to host child pornography. That's the only realistic workload that ticks all the boxes for orbital datacenters.

Demand for what? A sealab like head in the sand view of lack of data regulation requirements?
specific software applications you can run in space that you can't run on Earth or can't run cheaper on Earth.

Don't be coy, please indicate the math that works differently in silicon in a zero g environment if its not some regulation dodge.
