Why is humanity not mining other planets?

This is not economically feasible at this time.

At this point in time it is mainly because it would be difficult. You would need a device that can go into space, land on something like an asteroid, mine heavy metals or any other desired material, and then make a return trip to the earth while it orbits the sun.

The mining of metals in space has solved earthly problems such as ecology, shortage of rare metals. But also any metal mining in space would hit Earth market prices.

2 questions: How far are we from actually mining asteroids, and, is it going to crash the prices of precious metals?

Why did Google rent computing power in Elon Musk's data center?

To slow down the development of xAI AI, the competitor is now spending part of its infrastructure and operational resources on Google tasks.

Google has repeatedly used cooperation with competitors to its advantage. She buys computing power from xAI. The competitor receives money, but at the same time part of his resources is working on the maintenance of Google services, and not solely on the development of his own products. Now the xAI AI will develop more slowly. This will lead to the fact that xAI's AI will be one of the weakest in the market and will not compete with Google's AI. Before her, a similar deal was concluded by Anthropic, leasing the entire Colossus 1 cluster. By that time, xAI had already transferred the training of its models to the newer Colossus 2.

Let's recall Firefox. Google has effectively made Mozilla dependent. While Firefox was losing users in competition with Chrome, Mozilla's revenue was increasingly dependent on Google's multimillion-dollar payments for default search. As a result, the browser, which was supposed to be Chrome's main competitor, turned out to be financially dependent on the company it competes with.

Google is no longer producing high quality search results in a significant number of important categories
