Comment Re: Set up a tax on satellite operators to fund it (Score 1) 13

The US prides itself in applying its own laws to its citizens all around the world. There's no reason to expect it couldn't charge a US company a tax on satellites in space. Frankly, a lot of satellites are owned by Elon, I could totally see Trump signing an executive order just to fuck with Starlink.

Comment Re:WTF does AGI have to do with generating profits (Score 1) 61

Not so easy. There's a saying, "if you're so smart, why aren't you rich?".

It's quite reasonable to ask AI-toting blowhards to put their money where their mouth is. In this case, if their "AGI" can't make as little as 100B in one year, then their other claims about being superior to humans in science and technology are clearly suspect too. You might say it's hard, but we already have one example of a human making 100B in a year, and he's definitely no genius.
