The idea of deploying a million AI satellites for orbital computation is being questioned, with the argument that hardware, specifically compute power, is not the primary bottleneck for advanced AI. Instead, the focus should be on improving the reliability and robustness of AI software, particularly in orchestration layers that manage complex, multi-step tasks. Current AI agents often fail by losing context or incorrectly reporting success, issues that more hardware alone cannot solve. Progress in AI is seen as more dependent on the 'boring' software that ensures agents can accurately assess their own performance and avoid errors, rather than simply increasing computational resources.
