"It really seems like anyone with some renders and a white paper written by someone being gassed up by an overly agreeable AI can get VC funding these days."
Except when they put up about 70x new satellites then what we currently have up there, and cause a cascade of collisions that results in nothing being able to enter orbit (including humans travelling to space).
We’re at 14k satellites.
100k is the cascade failure limit.
Space X is proposing one million satellites.
Edit: my “70x” figure is very fuzzy just-woke-up early morning math. No guarantees.
Edit 2: dang! One million divided by 14k is 71.428! I almost nailed it.
No, you don’t get it. (Good job on the math though, btw)
Every AI gets to have one, huge Moonraker sized LLM space station. Grok Station 1, Gemini Geosynchronous, Claude Comet. Whatever. But all eggs in one huge solar-powered basket each.
Staffed by 1 or 2 humans each. Required. By law. Armed people. Because, of course they should have guns in space.
Then just see what happens. I bet it would be amazing.
Ok, I see your /s tag now. And no, it was not clear that you’re being sarcastic, because I can’t see your face or hear your voice. It’s the reason Poe’s law is a thing.

Better pitch: just put tons of people in the space station and they can type the “AI” responses!
