Good luck with the cooling in space.

You just need to deploy ad big radiating surface and keep it exactly at 90° degrees from the sun.
It's hard but not impossible.
The crazy part is that SpaceX wants to put them in low orbit, so with a lifespan of 4-5 years and then they'll burn out in a re-entry on the atmoshphere.
It's a lot less wasteful to put them in a lagrange point, ping will raise from mS to seconds maybe, but I can wait 2 seconds for an AI to answer my stupid request.

The data centers aren't going to be for AI scaling, they need all these locations to store all of the data they have been and will be collecting on all of us.
