If it was close at hand, spending precious resources on anything other than pursuing AGI wouldn’t make sense.
These are tentacles that AGI will need.

Datacenters in space makes no sense at all. Even ignoring the huge cost of sending hardware there in the first place, cooling is a massive issue in space. No medium to sink heat into means the only way to cool anything is by running water through giant infrared radiators. Not ideal when cooling is the largest bottleneck in scaling datacenters. Note that they would also have to dissipate the large amounts heat their datacenter satellite gets from being exposed to the Sun.
Also disregard the cost it takes to send a technician for maintenance, of updating hardware, etc.
