What would Jupiter's Great Red Spot look like if it was colonized by sapient nanomachines?

Asked by Qingu (21185points) January 25th, 2010

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is a gigantic, stable storm (an anticyclone), 2–3 times the size of earth, that has lasted for at least 300+ years and perhaps much longer.

As a predictable and stable source of energy, it thus seems like a ripe source for wind-farming. Particularly for a civilization of intelligent nanomachine AI that don’t have to worry about breathing, pressure, and all the other stuff we humans have to deal with.

What would such a civilization on Jupiter’s GRS look like? What structures would they build, if any?
