## Resource

Sam Bushman and Lance Migliaccio break down the next frontier of AI infrastructure. From why full-scale AI data centers won't survive in space to how companies like SPANS and Pulte are putting micro data center nodes in homes, offering free internet, free power, and even Bitcoin mining. Plus, a look at the rapid evolution toward self-aware AI and why the AI you use today is only the watered-down version.
