Dyson swarm will host trillions of AI agents if we get it. | The Dyson swarm will probably host them. Unless we don't get a Dyson swarm. If we get the Dyson swarm, I'm pretty confident it's going to be hosting trillions of agents.

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

The Dyson swarm will probably host them. Unless we don't get a Dyson swarm. If we get the Dyson swarm, I'm pretty confident it's going to be hosting trillions of agents.
