The Moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's so it'll be easy to accidentally launch rocks into Moon-escape orbits, making the Earth-Moon trip even more hazardous than it is already. Fun!
@sundogplanets create Website: Orbital Enshittification Watch
"They get the valuation. We get the debris."
Main goal:
Make every reckless satellite proposal look like a bad investment.
By showing:
cheaper Earth alternatives
regulatory delay risk
insurance/liability risk
public opposition risk;
astronomy/ecology backlash
technical feasibility gaps
reputational harm
weak customer demand
bad unit economics
@sundogplanets Nobody's going to put datacenters in space. They're too heavy and space makes cooling impossible. It's all BS and hype to get them funding. Ignore it.
@sundogplanets Utterly agree.
Suspect that history reveals rapid change and increasingly centralised power as key factors in the end of past civilisations.
We are just rushing along that path at an insanely reckless pace with drunk psychopaths at the wheels.
@sundogplanets argh this thread.
tell Bannon he got his 'flooded zone' wish granted.
@sundogplanets
All those you've mentioned!!!
Maybe I've missed some, but these here are very worrying to me as well:
* Kessler Syndrome, cascading damage once a threshold has been triggered, endangering *everyting* in the adjacent orbit(s).
* Impact on the atmosphere and global warming due to aluminium ablation of de-orbiting satellites.
For Big Tech and tech bros, this is all a land grab right now, driven by FOMO and perceived 'street creds' (redeemable in Silicon Valley and with the Tangerine Tyrant).

We've got all of these 'one trick pony's' or 'to a carpenter Everything looks like a nail'. Each is in this race against the others to get the most without taking the time to see what it does. It's just a great grab to grab a piece of empty space, which is ludicrous & each wants the biggest piece.
@sundogplanets oh I totally agree tech media is mostly just fake news lmao and they're bragging about how "AI is great because it does xyz" or "new AI helps remove all your debt" whatever like no one cares
they are speed walking us to extinction.
@sundogplanets I suppose the rage part should be easy, anyway . . . :-/ The writing part sounds more like work though, and I don't envy you the task of choosing which bits of stupidity to subject yourself to in order to do it!

Devavacci is inspired by street culture, individuality, and the constant evolution of fashion. Every piece we release is designed with the goal of helping you express your style while staying comfortable and confident wherever life takes you.
@sundogplanets several years ago I jumped to the conclusion that something's mere existence on a techbro website means it's probably horseshit.
In an odd way, we already went through this. Look at tech magazine ads circa 1982. Like, when we still had print magazines.
@sundogplanets Let's build a Ballroom Bunker, that flushes them all down to the bottom of Mariana's Trench!
A fitting depth for those Space Cadets!!
@sundogplanets There comes a point at which we're better off crowdfunding the launch of something *designed* to initiate a LEO Kessler cascade, and I think we're close to it.
@sundogplanets
My observations are:
Money and intellect are at best casually related.
Money and ethics have no correlation.
Space, the oceans, some wormhole to Andromeda. Its a time of unhinged speculation, infinite money, destruction of ground truth and any meaningful discourse.
@sundogplanets it seems like all these space ventures live in the same no-man's-land occupied by stuff like Elon Musk's hyperloop or his brain-chip ambitions: it's hard to tell the degree to which they actually hope to achieve anything substantial vs. have some sort of grand tentpole projects always going, pretexts for hoovering up investment dollars
@sundogplanets
No wonder they are not concerned with AI hallucinations given they themselves hallucinate far more strongly.
@sundogplanets The same tech bros ducking up space and astronomy are also ducking up everything in my industry (open source software), with their thieving AI bullshit generators, covering us in generated manure in vast amounts, while also taking no care of software reliability or security.
It's such a shitshow, which will get worser before it might all fall apart.
Your goat and aurora photos, and everybody else creating fabulous photos and art of nature and animals is what's keeping me going.
