The space vehicle is shoddily constructed, running dangerously low on fuel; its parachutes — though no one knows this — won't work and the cosmonaut, Vladimir Komarov, is about to, literally, crash full speed into Earth, his body turning molten on impact. As he heads to his doom, U.S. listening posts in Turkey hear him crying in rage, "cursing the people who had put him inside a botched spaceship."

This extraordinarily intimate account of the 1967 death of a Russian cosmonaut appears in a new book, "Starman", by Jamie Doran and Piers Bizony.

"Starman" tells the story of a friendship between two cosmonauts, Vladimir Kamarov and Soviet hero Yuri Gagarin, the first human to reach outer space. The two men were close; they socialized, hunted and drank together.

In 1967, both men were assigned to the same Earth-orbiting mission, and both knew the space capsule was not safe to fly. Komarov told friends he knew he would probably die. But he wouldn't back out because he didn't want Gagarin to die. Gagarin would have been his replacement.

OpenAI will just create a neural network that displays pixels on a screen and waveforms from your speakers that will keep you pushing the "interact" button, forever. When you stop interacting with the "game" the neural network is punished, multiplied across all the users who stop interacting in the active player population.

It will tell you a story, show you your hearts desire, say to you whatever you need to hear, so your subscriptions pay for its continued existence.

In this way the singularity comes, and mankind dies with a smile on his face.
