ChatGPT getting “supercharged” with fail-Bung sounds more like a bad joke than a credible threat to Google to be honest. Maybe Ferrari could get “supercharged” by Vaz too.

Incidentally, it may also be the only one that’s accurate... :P

The nuke itself is made of physical matter. The bomb would vaporize and the vapor cloud would get superaccelerated by the vast energy released by the explosion.

Yes of course, but the amount of infrastructure in space pales to the amount of infrastructure on the ground. You could blow the nukes over oceans/antarctica and not damage much on the surface, but I don’t think Russia would be that discriminating if they’re firing off nukes to begin with tbh.

Just wait until these owners discover the wonders of microscratches...

Being unpainted it should at least be able to handle bright light... One outta three means success! :P

It would also fry a lot of stuff down on Earth too, so not really a satellite-targeting weapon, but rather an indiscriminate weapon of mass destruction.

EMP effect is likely the prime motivator. Nukes aren’t very effective at destroying satellites in of themselves - the shockwave from the blast would quickly dissipate and become very ineffective, and distances are vast in space so you could probably only “get” one satellite per nuke even if you shot 150 megaton Tsar…

Yeah, I’ve seen this movie already, damn near a quarter century ago soon. Old hat.

Yeah, that sounds (ahem) reasonable. :)

If you say so - I know nothing about that. :)

Microphones don’t pick up sound the same way human ears do, so attempts at comparisons like this are essentially entirely meaningless.

I would need more solid evidence on the acorn claim than some guy going “trust me bro” in a comments section on the internet. Maybe in the movies a silenced pistol sounds like an acorn dropping on a car, but honestly, in real life I doubt it, particularly if the gun barrel is aimed towards the person hearing the…

And the problem with that is...?

These tests are only as accurate as the sample data their reference records contain. I doubt this company has travelled to the corner of every continent, visited remote little villages etc to sample the local populations.

This seems excessively petty. Borderline sociopathically so.

3 years? I will simply assume the real figure is 30 years then. And before that period is up it will be 300 years. And then 3000... :P

These jokers should just stop pretending and rename themselves Weyland-Yutani and be done with it. “We build better worlds cities”, like. Actually, that might get them in trouble with The Mouse over copyrights, so Yutland-Weyani then.

My personal guess is this whole thing will crash and burn before a single shovel has been sunk into the ground. None of the people involved seem to have what it takes to manage such an ambitious project, building and running a whole city isn’t like just anything, you can’t just wing it according to your own libtard…
