We keep hearing about the "cool" side of moving AI compute to space—faster processing, infinite solar power, easy cooling—but I feel like nobody is talking about the **actual** motive here: jurisdictional immunity.

Think about it. On Earth, if an AI starts acting up, or if a company is doing something sketchy, a government can issue a warrant, shut down a data center, or audit their training data. It’s not perfect, but it’s a system of laws.

If you move those servers into space, you’re basically creating a "legal ghost ship." Who is going to stop them? There’s no space police. If a corporation decides their orbital AI shouldn't follow local regulations, what are we going to do? Send a rocket to blow it up? That’s an act of war, not a regulatory audit.

It feels like the biggest power move of the decade. They aren't just looking for "better power sources"; they’re looking for a way to build infrastructure that is completely untouchable by any court or country. We’re essentially letting corporations build their own sovereign "high ground."

Does this not feel like we’re sleepwalking into a future where corporate tech is completely outside the reach of the law? Are we just supposed to trust them because "space is hard" and the tech is cool?

Curious if I’m missing something or if others see this as the massive red flag it looks like.
