      They do. But you could have to wait almost a year to get one.

      They are on a very low orbit. They get deorbited by atmospheric drag if there is a failure.

    How are they going to replace all the satellites that fell from orbit? Imagine the amount of money/resources it took to engineer, manufacture, transport, and launch the satellite.

      EXACTLY. POORLY PLANNED AND EXECUTED MISSION.

      Easy, they’ve already replaced them.

    • John Theux

      All 40 satellites were on the same orbit (they were launched on the same rocket) so they can be replaced in one launch.

      @John Theux THESE ASSCLOWNS WILL LAUNCH MORE SATELLITES AFTER BAD FAILING SATELLITES, WHY NOT?? ITS ONLY MONEY, RIGHT?

David Sacks: Anthropic, OpenAI Can Slow Down AI on Their Own

David Sacks, co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science & Technology, says Anthropic and OpenAI should slow development of their most advanced AI models if they believe the technology poses serious risks, but argues they don’t need new regulation to do it.

David Sacks, co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science & Technology, says Anthropic and OpenAI should slow development of their most advanced AI models if they believe the technology poses serious risks, but argues they don’t need new regulation to do it. He pushes back against calls for antitrust exemptions and a broader regulatory framework, saying today’s frontier AI labs are setting the frontier themselves and do not need “anyone else’s permission.” He also underlines that any approach must account for competition with China, which is unlikely to join a global agreement to slow down AI development. He speaks to Bloomberg’s Ed Ludlow.
