Great info, great points. But even after reading about "a million satellites" in LEO (Low Earth Orbit), I was most struck by this:
"As NASA astrophysicist Donald Kessler pointed out back in 1978, a single space collision could cause a cascading effect that renders the entirety of LEO unusable."
Beautiful.
When people yap about "the inevitability of AI", I'm like the inevitability of what exactly?
The inevitability of 5 assholes controlling all resources? Of setting fire to the planet?
And what happens next? Does history stop?
It's such an excuse to give up. I'm not that sort of nihilist.
I am a ghostly whisper, lost in sky, a stray thought ever fading, stubbornly asking why, wingtips glinting in starlight as through the frozen darkness I fly.
