Nobody thinks they’re incapable of working this out; we think theyre deliberately advertising something dumb that lay people won’t necessarily understand is dumb. Replying that they have smart engineers is stupid because no-one denied it - we just don’t think they used those engineers to come up with the idea.
and forget about running 4nm chips in space. shit has to be radiation hardened, which means bigger process nodes and higher energy cost, and lower speed
I’m pretty sure they’re aware of the need for radiators. They’ve probably designed satellites before.

yes but they’re not trying to dissipate megawatts usually
Again, I’m pretty sure they’re aware that you need bigger radiators when you’re using more energy. This is space engineering 101.
literal kilometers of panels and radiators. No. It won’t happen
If only they’d hired you, they would have known.
Edit: don’t feed the troll.
well any actual engineer who isn’t trying to sell them will readily tell you that a datacenter in space is a very bad idea.
They’d better not try to sell them to anyone who has access to an engineer, then. Just a single engineer will bring the whole scheme crashing down.

Another thing they probably didn’t think of. Nobody’s run chips in space before.
for starters, at the loads they’re running at, they have literally hundreds of gpu failures a day. How do you propose doing that in space?
Include spares.
I hope they’re reading this thread and taking notes, they probably didn’t think of that.
