This is space, not stupid war propaganda. They're working together on the problem.

If the cooling system is necessary for re-entry they have a problem. I can say for certain that such a cooling system is NOT the difference between boiling occupants alive (they're also in space suits for the trip) and a successful return. It's likely needed for electronics.

I'm looking forward to hearing more about this situation as it unfolds.

These kinds of collisions are about to get a lot more common and that's a big problem for everyone flying in space.

No discussion of the possible causes of such a hole. Simple speculation suggests a micro meteor/space junk collision.

Does the loss of the cooling system mean that it can't be flown to re-entry? Can the leak be fixed and the system recharged in orbit? On the ground, such a fix would be straightforward and within the skill set of most refrigeration techs.

This is what scares me. I understand that almost all technologies carry risks and those risks must be managed for the tech to be a net benefit for society.

I'm not saying that it can't happen for AI but I AM saying that we lack the ability to effectively manage the risks of AI today. That means the bad actors have a big head start and that's the part that concerns me.

This sounds like a recipe for a dystopian nightmare. To be clear, I don't think it will be the AI's fault but rather the uses unscrupulous and frankly criminal people will put it to.

The conversation needs to be had about how to limit the influence of AI gone bad and how to protect ourselves from other people's worst impulses magnified by such technology.

Yes I'm an idealist. I believe in the power of AI. But as a student of the human condition, I have real concerns.

Because it's harder to sue a robot.

Keep firmly in mind that they said exactly the same thing about SWAT units. Now they serve traffic warrants on "training missions" that have killed innocent women and children.

How much more evidence of authoritarianism do we need before we say enough is enough?!
