Data center regulation in NY/elsewhere will accelerate moving compute to orbit (Dyson swarm).

Data center regulation in NY/elsewhere will accelerate moving compute to orbit (Dyson swarm). | This time around I I think New York and other states. Uh the the beauty is we have orbital computing and the messaged received moment of of overregulating data centers. This is all going to move off planet. This is all going to accelerate the Dyson swarm. It may be the primary business case for the Dyson swarm given regulations of planet earth are are overregulating suffocating our ability to do local compute and motivate the entire Dyson swarm. | State moratorium votes 2026-2027

Key catalyst: State moratorium votes 2026-2027

Watch events: Starcloud Blackwell satellite (Oct 2026); Google Project Suncatcher demo satellite; FCC DC filings

This time around I I think New York and other states. Uh the the beauty is we have orbital computing and the messaged received moment of of overregulating data centers. This is all going to move off planet. This is all going to accelerate the Dyson swarm. It may be the primary business case for the Dyson swarm given regulations of planet earth are are overregulating suffocating our ability to do local compute and motivate the entire Dyson swarm.

See above — NY regulation → orbital flight.
