I really wonder why by this time we don't seriously consider an experiment with a centrifuge creating an artificial gravity on ISS. One would thought medical experiments like that are an important part of ISS mission. It does conflicts

I think OpenAI has plenty of possibilities to explain why they aren't the responsible side in this case. E.g. they can argue that a proper way to use the tool is to provide elaborate prompts which reasonably protect from unwanted respo

I think this is an awesome advancement. In rocket turbopumps achieving a high enough temperature of the gas on the turbine blades improves even full-flow combustion engines - eventually the turbine is put into the combustion chamber, with s

Why entirely? You don't allow the possibility that AI can genuinely present more severe or urgent problems if left unaddressed in a timely fashion? I think all will agree that there are other problems in this world, but dismissing a ne

I think MAL is rather demanding. Each step wants you to write specific functionalities which may not be absolutely crucial. Sometimes it's hard to assemble pieces in coherent enough MAL-satisfying whole. I guess MAL wants to be able to

Not the only thing that matters? Ability to make useful actions - heal, entertain, teach etc. - they all imply resource spending, in addition to time, so shouldn't it be reflected?

It's annoying that there seems to be rather promising technological approaches, which don't even require a lot of political will - and yet we don't seem to see them applied at a needed scale, or getting there. A close approac
