🛰️ Google’s Space-Based AI Data Centers

Google is taking AI out of this world.
Meet Project Suncatcher — a bold research mission to run AI workloads in space using solar-powered satellites equipped with Google’s own AI chips.

The goal?
To tap into limitless sunlight and free AI from Earth’s power grid once and for all.

🌞 The Details

• 🛰️ Satellites orbiting Earth gather solar energy 8× more efficiently than ground systems — no night, no clouds, no downtime.

• ⚡ AI chips have passed radiation tests simulating five years in space — surviving where normal electronics fail in months.

• 🧪 The first real-world trial launches in 2027, in partnership with Planet, using two test satellites to validate performance.

🔭 Why It Matters

The global AI boom is devouring energy on Earth.
If Suncatcher works, it could open a new era of off-world AI scaling — powered by unlimited solar energy, free from grid limits, energy costs, and local opposition to data centers.

AI might soon literally run on sunshine. ☀️🤖

💍 Stream Ring: Whisper to Think, Talk, and Control

What if your ring could take notes — from your whispers?
Meet Stream Ring, a sleek AI wearable by Sandbar, a startup built by ex-Meta designers.

It’s not just jewelry — it’s your AI note-taker, voice assistant, and music controller all in one.

🧠 The Story Behind the Spark

👩‍💻 Cofounders Mina Fahmi and Kirak Hong once worked on neural interfaces at CTRL-Labs, which Meta acquired in 2019.
Now they’re turning that experience into a tiny AI companion you can wear on your finger.

🔊 How It Works

• 🫱 Activate by touch, not voice — no “Hey AI” required.

• 🤫 Whisper-detection mics capture quiet speech and convert it to organized text.

• 🗣️ The AI replies in your own voice, powered by ElevenLabs speech synthesis.

• 🎵 Control music and commands directly through subtle gestures.

💸 Availability

The Stream Ring is now open for preorder at $249, plus a $10/month subscription.
Shipping is planned for Summer 2026.

🌍 Why It Matters

The AI wearable race is heating up — from pins to pendants to rings.
Stream Ring bets on simplicity and subtlety, blurring the line between tech and fashion while reimagining how we speak to our AI.
