Method 1: Sure datacenters with latency measured in several hours sure are useful, and can also be intercepted Method 2: Can be jammed by drone with laserpointer. Method 3: Let me just transfer gigabytes of data via physical signalling Method 4: Can still be jammed Method 5: Can in fact still be jammed?

Training models takes weeks, are you really worried about a couple hours?

Ok, you're just joking

		If you’re receiving data optically from a space based laser, yes you are quite vulnerable to your detector being jammed by a much closer laser that doesn’t have to be nearly as powerful to add noise to the signal. Why do you think GPS is so easy to spoof? Actually I just googled (clauded?) to learn more about space lasers and found a paper describing interrupting quantum key distribution (tamper evident but not jam proof!) with a 1kw laser on the ground pointed at the satellite! So it really does not take many photons to fuck up an encrypted signal. “ Vulnerability of Satellite Quantum Key Distribution to Disruption from Ground-Based Lasers” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8659886/
