I have wondered why they didn't think to just tack a camera on to each one. You could then project a real-time Earth image onto the Las Vegas sphere, although I'm sure there are 'better' uses. But not only cameras, plenty of other sensors could gather data continuously from a LEO shell.

Information bad, knowledge bad, ignorance good.

Of course that AI 'knowledge' is largely based on community content - if the communities die the AI will not 'learn' as wide as it does now, can do deep with official documentation I guess but I would it see it quickly fall behind with future distros.

...did he subtract bones and giblets?

The Blue Origin thing is space, just not orbit. I would go in any of them after I see 100 successes in a row with the vehicle. I'd still be aware that the risks are orders of magnitude higher than most other earthly travel. but I would still go.

Does it reduce energy usage by 95% or up to 95%? There's a big difference. Like a toothpaste that can make your teeth up to 100% whiter but does naff all.

A 300% increase is a four-times jump. Just as a 100% increase is double.
