A cast nosecone made with some sort of ceramic coating would do the trick. It's not like refractory materials are military grade. I've got some not cheap stuff that wsill reflect heat up to 5000f indefinitely as long as it doesn't get mechanically worn off of a surface. Also, lets see one of these actually do hypersonic flight at sea level.

"harms to children, such as sexual exploitation and detriments to mental health, were inevitable on the company's platforms due to their vast user bases"

Zuck and his lawyer are admitting that the very nature of their business is detrimental to society. What is the upside? They make hundreds of billions of dollars while firing half of their staff because their agentic AI tool is supposed to be good enough to replace some 40k employees. It seems like working in any corporation there's always a big part of the ship that's on fire, and we workers just sorta go about our lives knowing that we are probably contributing to the overall societal harm so that we can pay the rent and maybe retire someday.

Comment Re:Subsidized, isn’t a plan. (Score 1) 156

It would have been THE plan if Trump had not waded in and fucked it all up. The problem with subsidizing something you believe is necessary or good is that the next administration has a tiny boner for destroying everything you tried to accomplish and really has no other plan. Honda had to change plans because the current administration is completely moronic but somehow pro-business, because they're Republicans and they love money, right? Incompetence by the government is bad for business. It's bad for everything really, but we're talking about car companies building new products in America, which is a thing the current administration SAYS it wants, but has no idea how to achieve. Actually with the cost of gas likely to skyrocket to $10/gallon due to Trump's Great Middle Eastern Excursion War, EVs may suddenly make sense to the bewildered public again.

Google should be responsible for taming their AI to not cause harm to people, places or things. If we don't make them responsible for their products, then we won't have any kind of "3 laws of Robotics" for LLMs. Corporations that hoover up a large amount of the world's wealth like to whine about regulations and restrictions "stifling innovation" but we know that without those we end up with doomsday scenarios all over the place.

It's not "ours" it's the corporation's until the United States decides to nationalize it. There's no reason to restrict Chinese people from using ChatGPT. Or anyone really. It's more important that OpenAI understands what people are using their platform for, and whether what they're doing harms anyone else. That's kind of a large and nebulous question depending on your definition of "harm" but things that would be illegal in the country of jurisdiction (US and EU) are a good start.
We can, afaik, sign up and use China's main AI platforms/products.
