I notice that Dr Evil has supposedly applied for* permish - and funding - to launch One Million satellites, presumably at a cost of considerably more than One Trillion dollars - allegedly to satisfy the insatiable demand for more-and-ever-more "AI".
In other words, the global totalitarian system has already decided to transfer even more world resources into the pockets of the overlords on the excuse of "AI".
That is the only outcome of the above scheme that could be predicted with 100% confidence.
If the scheme is adopted it will also amplify the civilization-destructive effects of "AI" by irreversible mega-pollution of the nights skies for the whole world.
This has already happened to a significant degree, with the number of visible orbiting satellites now in the multi-thousands, such that one can nearly always see one (or more) crossing the dark skies.
But it is, of course, likely that the vast constellations of satellites have a quite different, and surely malign, intended purpose (whether or not that intended purpose is genuinely achievable in a world of endemic corruption, dishonesty and incompetence).
As a way of increasing computing power, the idea is ridiculously inefficient, and very-probably Will Not Work...
But then none of the Litmus Test strategies actually work in a needful and functional sense.
And indeed they are not intended to work - but to pursue an agenda that benefits both the totalitarian bureaucrats at first), and the Agents of Chaos (across the longer term).
So; as Dr Evil's evil-schemes go, this is a win-Win-WIN idea! And therefore highly likely to go ahead, at least in some form that involves loadsamoney.
*I would guess the idea is already-approved and ongoing; since the applicants are essentially "applying" to themselves.
