@AnthropicAI this is how it begins, AI was supposed to be invented to solve the most difficult issues from humanity and make life better but is now being used as a weapon and countries are taking ownership like it belongs to them when the whole narrative has been that it belongs to humanity.

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.
Â
Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.
@elonmusk reminds me of a great quote from Ericâs Berger Liftoff, âBut in the long run, talent wins over experience and an entrepreneurial culture over heritage.â Too often in the modern aerospace world, he added, bureaucracy, rules, and a morbid fear of failure âpoisonedâ the workplace.â
