I know many people smarter than me, plenty of them who have spent careers building data centers, and not one of them think this is plausible.
You should consider whether people smarter than the average investor are pulling a fast one.
Maybe we are talking about different things here?
I don't doubt spacex can fail at this.
I also don't doubt we are fairly close to making this plausible.

Famously, plenty of people who have spent careers building rockets would swear that reusable rockets would absolutely never work.
>I also don't doubt we are fairly close to making this plausible.
Maybe you should doubt that. There's literally no reason to think this is plausible besides some hype merchants' say-so.

Excluding Spacex:
Nvidia, Google, China, European Commission, Blue Origin
And this being HN, a YC funded company has put a single GPU rack in space and demonstrated training a reasonable sized model on it.
But yeah, it's all hype, sure.
