but they also speed up science, research and development
which makes data centers vital in developed countries
but data centers are easily destroyed
in conflicts and wars
which would weaken the economy
and thereby give less resources to the military
which increases probability of military defeat
so distributed redundancy is needed
so that compute is spread out geographically in nodes
which would make it difficult for an adversary
to destroy more than a few of those nodes
and the easiest and most economical way
to spread out compute nodes geographically
is to enable the civilian market
to sell extremely powerful gaming computers
and extremely powerful gaming consoles
which would be bought by gamers
and computer enthusiasts
those compute nodes would not replace data centers
instead they would complement data centers
if data centers are destroyed in conflicts and wars
gamers and computer enthusiasts could be rewarded
if they allow various organizations and companies
to use those extremely powerful gaming computers
and extremely powerful gaming consoles
as compute nodes
for a certain amount of hours each day and night
in a time of crisis
and laws could be implemented
that requires those extremely powerful gaming computers
and extremely powerful gaming consoles
to be used as compute nodes
by various organizations and companies
for a certain amount of hours each day and night
in a time of crisis
and the gamers and computer enthusiasts would be thrilled
to get hardware more powerful than what they ever dreamed about
when data centers are deployed in space
then distributed redundancy could easily be achieved
by spreading out more space based data centers
throughout the solar system
but data centers will still be needed locally on planet earth
and for distributed redundancy to work on planet earth
then compute nodes are needed
and the most economical way to achieve that
is if extremely powerful gaming computers
and extremely powerful gaming consoles
are used as compute nodes
