A Seat On A Rocket Ship
from Plausibly Live - The Dave Bowman Show · host Dave Bowman
I grew up with Star Trek as my inspiration for… well… pretty much everything. Yesterday I even got into a discussion about the ways that Star Trek has inspired much of my learning. in one of the climatic moments, Captain Kirk explains to the crew that “risk…. is, our, business” (you have to say it like Shatner). That said, when is risk too much? As AI looms and robots become more and more capable, doe it even make sense to risk a human life to take on the unknown frontiers? Or, does it make any sense to take money from people to take them on an adventure?
