REUSABLE ROCKETS A=
RE HERE, SO WHY IS NASA PAYING MORE TO LAUNCH STUFF
TO SPACE? (9 MINUTE R=

Despite reusable rockets being available nowadays, NASA is =
still
paying more than it did 30 years ago to launch missions into orbit.=

Launches are now becoming more routine, with SpaceX sending batches of=

Starlink Internet satellites and other kinds of missions into space
ev=
ery few days. NASA is only one of SpaceX's customers - the US
military is=
launching more missions than ever before and SpaceX is
about to become t=

Aurora Innovation plans to unle=
ash driverless trucks on a 200-mile
stretch of Interstate 45 between Dall=

vehicles in closed and virtual
environments. It was denied an exemption r=
equest from a federal
regulation that stipulates that truck drivers must =
deploy roadside
warning devices whenever they're stopped on the side of t=
he road. This
prompted Aurora to sue the Motor Carrier Safety Administrat=

company doesn't have human operators to physically deploy the=

necessary devices.=20

ASK HN: SHARE YOUR AI PROMPT THAT STUMPS EVERY MODEL (HACKER N=
EWS
THREAD) [9]=20

Any prompt that has been fed into a public large l=
anguage model has
already probably been used for training, even if they h=
aven't been
disclosed publicly. This makes it difficult to create persona=
l
benchmarks for models - mainstream benchmarks already have a high risk=

of being gamed. This thread contains prompts that AI still can't
answe=
r, along with discussions about the inner workings of large

IF A.I. SYSTEMS BECOME CON=

While the sm=

it's hard to arg=
ue that today's AI systems are conscious.
Consciousness is a taboo subjec=
t within the world of serious AI
research as people are wary of anthropom=
orphizing AI systems. However,
that is starting to change, as there is a =
growing body of academic
research on AI model welfare taking the prospect=
of AI consciousness
more seriously as systems grow more intelligent. Whi=
le AI models may
not be conscious yet, it may be worth exploring for sign=

consciousness as long as it's not diverting resources from AI safety=

ANTS TO GO HARD ON AI. WHAT DO I DO? (HACKER NEWS
THREAD) [12]=20

CEO=
s looking to blindly implement AI may be doing so to find more
funding ra=
ther than build a better product. Employees stuck working in
these enviro=
nments are best off deciding whether they want to go on a
VC-driven start=
up ride or work somewhere else in a product-driven
role. These types of A=
I implementations are often not a real strategy
and are more for PR. Doin=
g things for more funding and doing things
that get the work done are not=
always the same. If funding is a real
concern, the CEO's approach might =
be valid.=20
