I have one heavily downvoted and removed comment because I sarcastically said something like

“Get the fuck out of here with your well thought through and reasoned opinion. This is the Internet, nuance isn’t allowed here”

Oh the irony

In all seriousness going to LEO gets the job done the vast majority of the time, medium and high earth orbit have very few use cases with the exception of geostationary which SpaceX has gone to.

Going to the moon is very energy intensive and you don’t get a ton of benefit for it so there’s no real point to going there. Apollo was a jobs program and a dick waving contest with Soviet Russia to prove who could put the biggest nuke anywhere on Earth. Going to the moon has very little scientific/practical value outside of political stunts which Apollo and Artemis programs definitely are

Seems like this war is going to take longer than expected

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is like this. Usually if someone spots you wanting to attack you, they’ll yell or something similar to get others attention. But other times you’ll have someone notice you, they’ll walk over and alert their buddies first and then they all come after you

I don’t think the term AI has been used in a vague way, it’s that there’s a huge disconnect between how the technical fields use it vs general populace and marketing groups heavily abuse that disconnect.

Artificial has two meanings/use cases. One is to indicate something is fake (video game NPC, chess bots, vegan cheese). The end product looks close enough to the real thing that for its intended use case it works well enough. Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, treat it like a duck even though we all know it’s a bunny with a costume on. LLMs on a technical level fit this definition.

The other definition is man made. Artificial diamonds are a great example of this, they’re still diamonds at the end of the day, they have all the same chemical makeups, same chemical and physical properties. The only difference is they came from a laboratory made by adult workers vs child slave labor.

My pet theory is science fiction got the general populace to think of artificial intelligence to be using the “man-made” definition instead of the “fake” definition that these companies are using. In the past the subtle nuance never caused a problem so we all just kinda ignored it
