    No one else is working on reusable rockets, there’s no one else to give the contract to. Blue Origin kind of is, but they’re focused on tourism and their rockets are so small compared to SpaceX’s that it’s like comparing a tug boat to a cargo ship.

    You just have such a huge hate boner for the guy that you can’t even acknowledge the one good thing that came of him. Guess what, terrible people can sometimes do good things. And good people can do terrible things. Too many idiots these days who can’t seem to grasp such a simple concept.








  • Let me give you a hypothetical that’s close to reality. Say an artist gets very popular, but doesn’t want their art used to teach AI. Let’s even say there’s even legislation that prevents all this artist’s work from being used in AI.

    Now what if someone else hires a bunch of cheap human artists to produce works in a style similar to the original artist, and then uses those works to feed the AI model? Would that still be stolen art? And if so, why? And if not, what is this extra degree of separation changing? The original artist is still not getting paid and the AI is still producing works based on their style.



  • That episode was fantastic. This whole season has been amazing actually. SNW has been an huge breath of fresh air after decades of awful Trek’s (Abrams movies, Discovery, Picard).

    They haven’t been afraid to explore heavy topics. The episodes have returned to mostly episodic, with some long term character growth thrown in. That has always been the formula Star Trek needs. An occasional big story arc can be good, but you can’t make that the entire show.

    It honestly feels like the show has the potential to be up there with TNG or DS9. And unlike those two, it’s good episodes aren’t surrounded by bad or mediocre filler. I know some people are upset about the shorter seasons compared to other Trek shows, but if they manage to keep the quality consistently high, I don’t have any issue with it.





  • Let me get this straight; you actually think Elon Musk, himself, combed through images he personally saved, found the X, and personally submitted it as the logo replacement.

    Elon Musk. The crazy douche billionaire. You really think he sat at his computer and spent time doing that.

    You don’t think, maybe, just maybe, a man with more money than God might have gotten someone else to do it? I can see him being out of touch and not caring enough about quality to say “go with that one” without checking where it came from. But I just can’t see Musk himself looking through fonts to find an “X” that he likes.
