Thinking about how the pre-launch timeline is from around 2020ā2025, and Grace notes that the on-board systems arenāt AI. And thinking about how companies like OpenAI would be frothing at the mouth to get their programs integrated into the mission somehow.
Which means at some point, Eva Stratt got to look some ai bro tech executives in the eye and tell them āYour software is too faulty and unreliable for a mission of this level of importance. We will not be taking any risks. No.ā And I love that for her.
#editing in some new tags to clarify that yes I have read the book and this post was made with that in mind rather than the movie#I know itās a topic Lamai and Stratt briefly discuss and everything else Iām just being a little silly /lh#original tags ->#because yes PHM was top top top secret#but these people find things out anyways#I know damn well companies like Amazon and the like were trying to wriggle their way in somehow#and I just love the mental image of Eva Stratt not only telling them ānoā to any egregious demands they might make#(I.e. stupid shit like āput our logo on the side of the shipā or āweāll supply you with x for y shares in astrophage productionā#or something silly like that)#but also threatening them to give her what theyāre offering for *free* or sheāll make sure to dismantle every part of their operations#because theyāre saving the world they donāt have time for this bullshit#is it realistic? eh maybe not. but it still brings me joy so Iām sharing with the class.#project hail mary#phm#eva stratt#tarambles
