I'm interested to see how this turns out. My prediction is that the AI trained from the results will be insane, in the unable-to-reason-effectively sense, because we don't yet have AIs capable of rewriting all that knowledge and keeping it consistent. Each little bit of it considered in isolation will fit the criteria that Musk provides, but taken as a whole it'll be a giant mess of contradictions.

Sure, the existing corpus of knowledge doesn't all say the same thing either, but the contradictions in it can be identified with deeper consistent patterns. An AI trained off of Reddit will learn drastically different outlooks and information from /r/conservative comments than it would from /r/news comments, but the fact that those are two identifiable communities means that it'd see a higher order consistency to this. If anything that'll help it understand that there are different views in the world.

No, not necessarily a problem in either of those things. As I said, it ruptured way below the pressure the tank was rated for - nothing wrong with the design there. And I don't know if it's been explicitly confirmed or not, but those tanks get tested above that pressure before they get installed. The ship had already done a single-engine test firing so it must have actually been pressured up to that already when it did that previously.

It sounds to me like something happened that damaged the tank after it was already in place. That would be my guess. Something banged into it and nobody noticed.

Nominations don't really mean anything.

Early analysis suggests that one of the high-pressure nitrogen gas tanks in the cargo bay ruptured. This would be unrelated to the rocketry aspects of Starship, those tanks are pretty plain vanilla technology and if this is actually what happened it's weird because those tanks are rated for way higher safety margins.

Crypto can be anonymous, if you use the right cryptocurrency and do things correctly. "Crypto" is a very broad term. Different cryptocurrencies have different functions and purposes.

I feel like the Trump administration has moved beyond scandals at this point. Scandals are just the ocean in which it swims. The emoluments clause is dead, buried, and completely forgotten. Other parts of the constitution are still hanging around in tatters, people are noticing some of that, but run of the mill scandal is not relevant.

This one hasn't passed yet, when it does it'll bring whole new levels of mockery.

How do you do that without screening calls through the AI.

You don't, which is why they're planning to try using AI to do it.

I honestly don't understand why you're asking. It's like there's an article about how a transportation company is investigating the use of teleporters to improve their delivery time and someone's responding with "but how will they do that without teleportation?"

Did you read the article? The reason they're looking into this is because they're not able to run an excellent human 911 service, they can't hire enough people to handle the volume of non-emergency calls that are coming to the emergency line.

It's the Register, ranty articles written like a teenager is kind of their brand.

On the one hand, I hate seeing people scammed.

On the other hand, it's nice that they have less money to spend on political donations.

That's what the test will ultimately determine.
