Ideas are worth absolutely nothing

And just thinking of an idea doesn’t mean it will be useful, it helps to have some industry insight otherwise you’re just slinging shit at the wall and seeing what sticks

I worked as an applications engineer for a company that made hardware often used for prototyping. The more secretive someone was with their idea, the less likely they were to be successful, because they assumed the idea was what's valuable, and that the implementation was a minor afterthought.

Am also interested in this. Manufacturing for the win.

There is that one that wants to put the solar reflectors into space so that the sun will shine on your solar panels at night. Then there's that data centers in space thing which does communication involved but the point would be that the Nvidia GPU super computer in space would do computing. Don't forget about mining. Land robots on the moon to build a mind that can extract resources like Helium-3.
