Algorithmic content is not bad per se. It’s the algorithms that are specifically designed to create division and hate. The people who design these things know what they’re doing and are doing it because the outcomes are that they want to achieve.

There are plenty of people who are happy to cheat at anything.

Good article.

And how is having a PCMCIA slot going to help with that?

In a country where the rule of law meant anything, that might be effective.

Most people won’t give a shit.

AI alignment fully achieved.

Still a more realistic prospect than the SLS.

No. The SLS program has been a complete shitshow from the start and getting people to the moon in Artemis III was never a realistic prospect. If anything, Isaacman is trying to salvage the project by injecting some realism.
