A ship with 10,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs worth $500 million could become the first ever sovereign territory that relies entirely on artificial intelligence for its future

The BlueSea Frontier Compute Cluster would be a roaming AI powerhouse at sea
Building a floating platform specifically so you can do digital crimes against humanity.
“Government overreach not only stalls the pace of innovation, but also interferes with the cosmic endowment of humanity,” the firm said.
I'm very glad these ancap dweebs are just scamming investors
cosmic endowment of humanity
WTF does this even mean?
Think of all the Space Colonialism we could be doing right now! Think of all the profit we could be making, if not for the poisonous overreach of central banks!
I think Bill Gates had some idea about become an interstellar emperor. it was bigged up on "in a nutshell"
Same as "bringing the light of consciousness to the stars." Absolutely nothing, but it sounds epic and transcendent if you do rich people drugs.
This will be complemented by “kinetic risk mitigation” provided by an on-board security team.
THEY GOT WATER COPS DOING THE COP LINGO
if it's on water cops are traditionally called marines
marines were the branch of the navy that suppressed mutinies
Water. Cop.
NK hackers
it's libertarians I assume they'll decide Plimsoll lines are just big government regulation and sink the ship due to overloading
ive done digital piracy for forever but physical piracy might be cool too
What are they gonna do? Call the police?
another use for my idea for an underwater drone that attaches to target ship hulls and drills holes
we need mad science to make these things capable of boring through steel hulls https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_navalis
Not even an underwater drone. A small solar powered drone that stays on the surface could feasibly have a satellite connection to the internet for controlling it. Anything small won't be seen in the ocean anyway or will be disregarded as drifting rubbish.
God almighty, I lived long enough for seasteads to come back in style. What ancient SA threads will we resurrect next?
WTYP will never run out of content
WTYP is gonna have to list off half of the Trueanon rules for life for this one
This reminds me of the WTYP bit about these modern supervillains with their supervillain lairs are just dorks who do dorky stuff like mining bitcoin, and aren't worthy of a James Bond visit.
In fairness, a Bond villain would more likely be some evil genius who wants to blow up all the Bitcoin mines and capitalize on a sudden drop in valuation. One of these dipshits would be represented by a stacked 10/10 hottie who runs a Cyberpunk themed casino/brothel, has sex with him, and is found dead in the following scene after having been stabbed through the heart by a graphics card.
Orcas, do your things.
It's for illegal porn isn't it?
Always.
AI seasteading? Are you fucking kidding? I didn't think anything could be dumber than seasteading which is the libertarian dream of living on the sea to live without laws or taxes. Stupid me.
Seasteading is the concept of creating permanent dwellings at sea, called seasteads, in international waters outside the territory claimed by any government.
irl loot box just dropped
tightly-guarded barge
Huh, is that so?
Prime target for piracy.
Or unrestricted submarine warfare. Cruiser rules can be set aside for this one, me thinks.
Bazinga seasteading
Dunktank material
This sounds like some Torment Nexus kinda shit.
The one from the tv show "the torment nexus is totally cool and awesome and you should definitely build it"?
It will for sure end up as part of The Raft from Snowcrash, assuming it stays afloat long enough
As the smartest geniuses on the planet, making the blue curtains in cyberpunk dystopias come to life is the smartest thing you can do!
GOVERNMENT BUDGET:
$10,000,000: Tracking ownership of monkey jpegs
$20,000,000: Pictures of people with Lovecraftian Horror Fingers
$15,000,000: SEO pollution
$35,000,000: Stonk analysis that works about as well as a reasonably well-trained octopusSomebody help, my citizen is starving.
Have you tried to feed them stolen art juice through dall-e?
All they want is slurp juice
Just remove the citizen, humans are obsolete!
This sounds like the kind of thing that will result in a headline like "100 dead in boating disaster" that everyone will skim over because it doesn't sound that interesting, and those of us who read the article will be like "yeah that makes sense, idk what they were expecting"
If we’re lucky we’ll get another

pack on high alertThe first country that can be totally destroyed with a single team of undersea divers
Also how the fuck is anyone believing this "sovereign territory" dribble. That isn't how blue water ships work, inspite of what brain dead libertarians want to believe.
For fks sake, just because you are sailing in international waters doesn't make you somehow sovereign. You sure as hell aren't sailing a ship worth a better part of a billion dollars around without being registered under the flag of a real internationally recognized nation-state because other than being uninsurable, without that protection you can come under the jurisdiction of literally anyone who decides they want to seize your vessel. Screaming "you're violating NAP" doesn't mean shit if not under the flag (and jurisdiction) of a great power or nation allied with a great power. Not gonna have the US, Chinese, Russian, or EU governments flexing economic and military power if someone decides they want to come up on $500,000,000 in GPUs because you are legally not their problem.
I love the tiny solar panels on that.
Those GPUs would have a combined power consumption between 3.5-7 million watts. How the hell are they planning on powering that?

Mr. Dongfeng 5 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, do your thing.
I am so glad that GPUs just run on unicorn farts these days. Since they have lots of virgins on that boat, they will be able to run them no problem and with no huge, stupid cost!

This ship seems to exist only as a blog post, and I suspect the entire company is some sort of ARG.
Yarrr, where it be? me crew be looking for our next haul of booty! 🏴☠️
i have never watched one piece but i must assume that this is incredibly close to the premise. a massive pile of wealth for pirates to gather, all in one place?
I have a hard time imagining that's not gonna be a massive target for hackers.
so glad im not on that ship
Who knew that 01 would become a reality not in Mesopotamia, but the ocean. And that it would largely function as a massive cp library instead of a manufacturing powerhouse.
This is a libertarian grift that comes around every 5-10 years. It's never worked and it never will, because libs don't live in reality. Don't worry about it
The firm described the BSFCC as the “pinnacle of compute and autonomy”.
The pinnacle of compute.
We're about to see just how deep fakes can get
Looking forward to the TrueAnon episode
And for once the WTYP
TORBEDO
With the export restrictions on certain Nvidia GPUs this seems like a great way for China to liberate some compute.
I hope little Kimmy is gonna sink it with his new sub.
little Kimmy
Kind of a strange thing to call a 41 year old man
That's because he's cute. I love him so much.

Water cooling your 10,000 GPUs with seawater, running your entire barge off of a nuclear reactor that you cool with seawater, having your security dingdongs drink the seawater, fuck it all sea water

Anyone know the exact location of this thing?
For research purposes.
Also boat hire is surprisingly cheap.
Lolwut
OMG it's the ship from the Smart Pipe commercial https://youtu.be/DJklHwoYgBQ?si=RabvGcTKkrUdm2Ud
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Sounds like this thing needs Freedom.
