Then you have Halo: Cortana in the first 3 is top right, then after that instantaneously bottom left.

Was it about the 25th dynasty? They're one of the most interesting dynasties. They originated in the Nubian Kush, became Pharaohs through conquest and then managed to unify Lower and Upper Egypt and Ancient Egypt reached its largest territorial extension during their rule.

>we can only hope it alligns with our values...

Why would a god-like being care about the needs and wishes of a bunch of violent meat bags whose sole existence introduces lots of uncontrolled variables in its grand scheme long term planning?

> China dumps toxic hypergolic stages on its villages

Not anymore, all these launches are taking place at the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on Hainan Island since 2020.

Why do I have the impression that Skynet will be created completely by mistake

As more models appear, a lot of companies will have the lack of restrictions and filters as their selling point. Availability and market competition will force their hand.

Read about the Twitter Files which Elon recently released to the public. The FBI and the CIA even had secret moderators at twitter that had access to see DMs, and artificially pump/dump trends.

Machine learning algorithms are already being used in old astronomy datasets to find things the original researchers missed. AI is perfect for that kind of job, massive datasets and hard to find/model patterns.

How is animation a good option when Motion art AIs are the next step in generative AI technologies?

And at that point the world will either be in one of these two scenarios: Star Trek or Terminator.

I hope it's the former, working/studying solely for the love of what you do or because that's your passion in a post-scarcity world. But the humanity from today and the humanity from Star Trek are extremely different, that's what I fear.

The point is, if they didn't want that content scrapped, they should have put a rule disallowing it in their robots.txt

>table Diffusion, Midjourney, etc. are just using datasets from LAIO

LAION uses Common Crawl to crawl the net and Common Crawl obeys the robot.txt rules of any site it crawls. Getty images have no case here, if they didn't want their content crawled they should have specified it in their robots.txt file.

Furthermore, Getty is one of the scummiest companies out there, they pretended to have the copyright of tens of millions of images in the Library of Congress, they also take the photos of photographers who publish them under the CC license and then try to shake these photographers for money.

They go for the Open Source projects because their goal is to crush them.

Indeed, the first all-methane stage went well, the second stage (equipped with the four smaller vernier nozzles) is what failed. So that's a lot of data both to improve the first stage's efficiency and to fix any problem that may have caused the second stage's failure.

When it comes to geopolitics, it is. If Europe truly wants to be a major player in the space-based industries of the 21st century (and also militarily), it needs to secure a fully domestic, modern and affordable launch and spacecraft system of its own. Depending on other powers will only put Europe in a weak position (what's preventing some future Trump-like US president from deciding to block Europe's access to space if Europe can't develop a domestic launch system).

Europe needs to go fully ahead with the development of the SUSIE spacecraft, one of the best reusable space vehicle concepts currently out there.

ESA also collaborates with China. From the Dragon programme, the Smile mission, components in the ChangE probes and a possible European visit to Tiangong in the works (regarding the station, Tiangong will host several European experiments).

It seems to me that of all space agencies ESA is taking the most diplomatic approach.

I actually confirms that DA and all its subsites were selling the users' data for dataset creation.

Xuntian has a 2m mirror, and Earth 2.0 (the space telescope China is launching in 2026 into L2) is an array of six smaller telescopes sharing the same superstructure. So if this mirror is used it'll be used in another not currently announced space telescope.

Which makes sense, because Xuntian is a survey telescope (with a modest mirror but huge 2.4 gigapixel sensor) and Earth 2.0 is an exoplanet finder (5 IR telescopes plus a microlensing telescope). Which means there's a gap right in the middle for a depth of field telescope (think Hubble). This mirror would be perfect for it.

It's unavoidable at this point. China is launching multiple constellations, one of which has 13K satellites (each sat 3x bigger than Starlink sats because they're also intended for 5G and two-way positioning) , there are several companies launching their own constellations, there are companies planning on launching illuminated satellites to create orbital ads (no kidding), there are companies already launching filament antenna satellites (super bright, outshining all planets and stars).

My guess is that in the near future the only way we'll be able to see the sky like our parents did will be in VR.
