It doesn't seem like a viable thing. Is there really enough demand for a supersonic commercial flight with the seating capacity of a regional? The company claims that major airlines have already committed to purchasing the yet-to-exist plane, which begs the question "how committed?" I would highly doubt that without a demonstrator specifically for the passenger version, that any airline would put down any amount of money. I have been known to underestimate the foolishness of leadership, so maybe there is an inked deal as opposed to a handshake for x number of planes, though only at y price.

In concept, supersonic aircraft are cool. Going fast is really neat. I think those are the feelings Boom is banking on, which is sad because I feel that their airliner is vaporware.

Well has anyone tried prompting it in EBCDIC? How do we know doing so won't immediately create the super intelligence that "or whatever"s us to silicon Valhalla? Asking for a friend.

Yeah, and a lot of the answers he gave seemed to originate from that point.

One particularly grating thing was saying that the left needs to embrace AI to fight facism because "facism embraced AI and they are doing well!" which is just so grating a conclusion to jump to.

Got to a point in this where Casey Newton enumerated his "only two sides" of AI and well, fuck Casey Newton.

Fuck it, we're going straight to Web5.

Oh, "major journey" is corporate-hack-speak for a complex process / workflow. At some point in the last few years someone decided to call them that. Basically this guy is saying, "I went to business school to learn how to use pretty words to fuck over labor while also gutting value from anything I touch."
