    Signal creator Moxie Marlinspike wants to do for AI what he did for messaging

    Even if the financial bubble breaks, AI is just too usefull and productive to ever go away again. Better to embrace it and use responsably.

    Signal creator Moxie Marlinspike wants to do for AI what he did for messaging

    Use Proton. They have been in the privacy game a lot longer and are from Europe.

    Signal creator Moxie Marlinspike wants to do for AI what he did for messaging

    I am very sorry to say but nowadays even if it's privacy focused I avoid US tech. Assuming it still can be switched off at a whim by your leader. I will stick with Proton thank you.

    ESA considers righting the wrongs of Ariane 6 by turning it into a Franken-rocket

    And there is really nothing positive about Europe at all? Like say having the highest living standards in the world, happiest people, freedom, democracy, and many world class companies like This is off topic but I agree. For a while now and for many reasons I choose European software whenever...

    Oh my, here goes the whole narrative about Ariane being a jobs program ;-)

    Google lobs lawsuit at search result scraping firm SerpApi

    Those search results are mine, yours, ours. But certainly not Google's or SerpApi's. Money should go to the people creating the content, the ones who do the actual work. Not the ones indexing it.

    Blue Origin will ‘move heaven and Earth’ to help NASA reach the Moon faster, CEO says

    One day all those wind farms will be hacked and blow air instead of generate power and change earth's orbit. Love the concept.

    Rocket Report: China’s Moon rocket to debut soon; ArcaSpace is back—sort of

    Replace "jobs program" with "geo return" and your post makes some sense to me. I mentally started doing this a while ago since otherwise these posts just aren't logical. In all the years reading comments here I haven't been able to figure out why it's so popular amongst some Ars commenter to...

    Meet the Arc spacecraft: it aims to deliver cargo anywhere in the world in an hour

    Because this is so much fun I keep coming up with more ideas. Reconnaissance. Say you want to target a weak spot in a bunker in Iran. It may help to have some eyes on the ground. Or after the strike to have a look what's left. That kind of intel might be worh millions.

    Meet the Arc spacecraft: it aims to deliver cargo anywhere in the world in an hour

    That sounds like what Arx and ATMOS are doing. I would also argue that from now on enemies always have to consider the possibility combat drones will be deployed on very short notice. This complicates planning and puts a cost on all enemy operations. You don't even have to use it. Just the...

    Meet the Arc spacecraft: it aims to deliver cargo anywhere in the world in an hour

    I wonder how stealthy a re-entry can be? Obviously on a clear day there will be a streak of light. But can a re-entry be stealth for radar? I imagine a small army of drones kept in orbit is something an adversary will always have to take into account at any time. Say you don't want to send...

    Meet the Arc spacecraft: it aims to deliver cargo anywhere in the world in an hour

    Sounds very similar to what ARX and ATMOS are doing in Europe, these seem further omg having already returned cargo. https://atmos-space-cargo.com/milestones/new-european-space-defence-alliance-formed/ From the website: "Lichtenau & Munich, Germany – May 09, 2025 – ATMOS Space Cargo...

    After a very slow start, Europe’s reusable rocket program shows signs of life

    The reality is nobody knew what they were voting for exactly. It was a poorly planned and executed referendum that made it easy for anyone to claim anything. There is no "punishment" from the EU side. We love you guys and hope to have good relations as fellow Europeans. Brexit was never going...

    After a very slow start, Europe’s reusable rocket program shows signs of life

    Nowadays when I read "Ariane is a jobs program" I just read "strategic capability and geo return rules", which is a different thing, otherwise these comments don't make sense to me.

    Ah you didn't suffer hundreds of thousands of casualties then now did you?

    After a very slow start, Europe’s reusable rocket program shows signs of life

    That's good news. Although even without reusability it would have been entirely possible to have a thriving launch sector here in Europe as the Chinese are showing. I think reusability is important but, not critical anno 2025. It likely will be in the future. Ariane 6 was delayed by years even...

    With AI chatbots, Big Tech is moving fast and breaking people

    I think the solution here is for these AI companies to follow through and build a custom virtual reality in which those theories do hold true /s

    Is AI really trying to escape human control and blackmail people?

    I agree. The discussion about wether these systems are sentient, entities, have a will, etc, are interesting philosophical discussions, but they won't stop AI from hurting us.
