If events over the past few years make it seem like a higher power is playing crazy games with our lives, it seems it’s running out of options. You imagine “SpaceX” saying “sue that…” and then there’s the sound of papers rustling until it says, “Cards Against Humanity.” It turns out the funny guys at the silly game own acres of land near SpaceX’s facility in Texas, which the latter has been using for its own purposes.
Cards Against Humanity has filed a lawsuit against SpaceX, alleging that the rocket company is encroaching on land it bought in 2017. The lawsuit says the previously unblemished land has been turned into a fake staging area and parking lot for nearby construction work. It seeks $15 million in compensation for encroachment and damages. If it succeeds, it will share the winnings with the crowdfunding backers who put up the money to buy the land.
If the higher power concerned wants some help with some suggestions, it could do worse than suggesting Engadget’s humble newsletter writers win a billion pounds in completely different competitions on the same day.
Now, I’m not angry that the plant is being reactivated, because nuclear power provides safe, clean and abundant energy. TMI reactor one was in operation from 1985 to 2019, so it has a healthy track record too. But I am angry at the reason Microsoft is cutting the check: to power its AI data centers!
OpenAI employees reportedly ‘shocked’ by ‘ominous’ logo rebranding
OpenAI is reportedly dropping its increasingly recognisable hexagonal flower logo in favour of something a little more sinister. Employees were apparently shown a black O icon that lacked the warmth of the existing identity.
Plus, a new profile of Sir Jonathan Ive reveals that the long-running partnership between him and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is real.
The iPhone designer’s firm, LoveFrom, is working on some kind of AI hardware tool, but that’s all we know right now. Hopefully it’ll be better than the Human Pin, the last AI hardware tool created by a famous designer who worked with Apple.
Get enough Star Trek fans in a room and the conversation will inevitably turn to which film in the series is the worst. The consensus is that The Final Frontier, Insurrection and Nemesis are fighting for the undeserved trophy.
Every film has a small contingent of fans who will defend the campy excesses, boldness and tone of each entry. (I’m a fan of watching The Final Frontier every five years, mostly to enjoy Jerry Goldsmith’s score.) Thankfully, all such discussions will stop forever on January 24, 2024, when Star Trek: Section 31 debuts on Paramount+.
