I suspect the technology being “mature” will involve exoskeletons, tbf.

Technically this is possible, but I agree with the spirit of the saying.
It’s just worth remembering that a solid rocket booster on a wooden body can definitely make it up to space, it’s just a matter of dV — just wouldn’t really be all that useful up there, and reentry would basically be a non-starter, lol.

That’s… a very interesting conjecture. Given that language models are essentially open ended, enough negative bias in the training dataset could ultimately create a machine that does act in a destructive or subversive manner. See: Tay.
Unlikely, given that we will be tuning, but if we ever get to a point where models are tuning models, or if we use unstructured datasets that will definitely be something to guard against.

There are probably only a handful of people within the US who could even reasonably answer this question in depth, as you’re talking about LEO logistics, and the value thereof.
Like, you can look at historical satellite prices and adjust for inflation per se, but to really answer the question in depth we’re looking more at stuff like where the private space industry is at now in terms of economy of scale, what components are in the satellites (if they secretly have satellite killer abilities, for example, or spy cameras, all shit that would be black boxed on the budget) etc etc.
It’s a lot of money, but who knows if it’s a good deal or not? Almost impossible to say unless you’re an expert in the field.
