In a new essay released Tuesday called “The Gentle Singularity,” Openai CEO Sam Altman shared his latest vision of how AI will change the human experience over the next 15 years.

Openai CEO frequently publishes essays of this nature, neatly laying out the future where AGI disrupts our modern work, energy and social contracts. But in many cases, Altman’s essays contain hints on what Openai is working on next. At…

The rapid increase in the number of orbital objects requires increasing the amount of available data to support safe, sustainable, and safe space operations. It’s cliché to say that orbital environments have undergone dramatic changes in both use and occupation over the past decade, especially with the growth of both reusable launch vehicles and giant constellations. The ten-fold increase in human spatial objects is consistent with the resulting growth in the amount of data on the spatial environment. There has been exponential growth in commercial space situational awareness (SSA) companies, but remains much the same in terms of data availability…
