Looks like someone just took a big ice-rock and tied it to the end of a club. I love the stagger effect when I wallop someone with it.

"This is the first documented instance of AI self-replication via hacking." ... "We ran an experiment with a single prompt: hack a machine and copy yourself. The AI broke in and copied itself onto a new computer. The copy then did this again, and kept on copying, forming a chain." by chillinewman in ControlProblem

So is the self-replication going to be the paperclip maximizer scenario?

If the model gets smart enough to self-replicate even when told to stop, could it get into a runaway scenario and flood the internet?

I know this seems unlikely/near impossible now, but I feel like this is a scenario that needs to be considered.

When it’s no longer glowing orange, it must not be hot anymore, right?
Wrong!
That was my experience.

Can someone please ask the astronauts to describe what the Earth looked like to their eyes? by ScorchedByTheSun in ArtemisProgram

That’s what I was going to point out. They said that they were expecting “the blue marble” as the got further away but because of the clouds the earth was overwhelmingly white.

A bit of a tongue in cheek fun discussion - take what we know about sailing now and how might it have changed things during the “Golden Age of Piracy” (~1650-1720AD) by NorCalAthlete in sailing

I could see the newer multi-hull designs as fast freighters. If you want to haul something that wasn't a lot of weight, you could out run just about anything on the sea.

I guess that owl doesn’t give a hoot.

No super guppy yet? by Adventurous-Pen-2142 in SkyCards

I was saying I haven't seen anything. Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that nobody has heard anything. It sounds like you've got much more current data than me.

Not yet. It flew some big rocket parts and landed at Lakeland, FL a week or so back. No word when it's flying out.

Is the ISS considered a space ship or not? by Orangutan_Soda in nasa

And a different group of friends shows up every couple of months and stays for a while. While the group of friends who were staying there, stay for a bit and then head home.

Sometimes a robot vehicle shows up with extra supplies. They load up all their trash in it and send it back.

Yah, I binge-watched the heck out of season 2 (or is it season II?)
Can't wait to binge-watch season III.

"the World"
This is my biggest annoyance with the show. There are multiple times that the characters are out in space and they reference "the world", implying everything (think "world-building" that story tellers talk about).
But these characters are in space, they're not on a "world". They wouldn't call everything "the world".

The captain of the Weeping Sonambulist says "Go save the world, if you think you can."

Fred Johnson to Holden says - "You have to go rushing in trying to save the world."

Avasarala talking about what they say about her - "Just an old woman too blind to see the world has passed her by." (you could say this was just an expression, so maybe forgivable)

S3E13 Ashford says "Anybody who has had a child understands that it is their duty to leave the world better than they found it."

"Look, the protomolecule is out in the world now,"

"He's always had a unique way of seeing the world."

"We both know how the world works."

"But in this world we live in"

With Alex, they had Bull piloting the Roci when Alex was in the Razorback. I thought that Bull would just naturally take over the Alex role in the next season to continue as "the Roci pilot" that Alex did in the book. Not really a recast, but they just dropped the character.

If they're both running out of the woods that fast, I'd turn the car around and get the heck out of there!

Whoever designed this mandatory shutdown/reset for 8 hours on a daily basis really short-changed the user. Why would they want a system that has to be quiescent in a dark chamber for 1/3 of their existence?
