LOTS of competitive sports as we have them now came from the military. Shooting, fencing, riding, etc were all basically dominated by military and winning contests was seen as a great historical way of showing your country's military prowess.
There are also used to be WAY more olympic shooting sports, including moving targets, animal-shaped moving targets, etc etc. Hell, one of the biggest horse-riding championships here in the Netherlands is called "Military" (the english word, because dutch people love stealing words from other languages).
Kathryn Lueders, the program manager for NASA's Commercial Crew Program granted SpaceX the HLS contract (after personally telling ONLY SpaceX about the secret maximum bid price, and not the others), because somehow SpaceX suddenly and mysteriously lowered its bid to just below the maximum price. Also, the contract had several requirements around FRR's waived, but Lueders ONLY informed SpaceX. This is legal somehow.
In 2021, Lueders granted SpaceX the HLS contract. In November 2022, Lueders added another 1.1 billion for the "option B" (Artemis 4 and on).
On May 15th 2023, Lueders anounced she'd leave NASA, and start as general manager for Starship, directly below Shotwell.
On May 31st 2023, under new leadership, Nasa awarded a second contract to Blue Origin for a second moon lander.
No, the problem is "my work is being used for something I don't want, and didn't agree too". That could be pollution, it could be people who dislike vowels. Artists get a say in the use of their work, and AI bros break those laws.
The theft isn't "ai made a derivative work". The theft is "human ai bros scraped all the stuff I made, without permission or compensation, and used it as training data".
The problem is that art is being used for purposes the artist explicitly disagrees with. Imagine your artwork as a backdrop for company that steals candy from babies to feed elephant poachers. In a normal world, you can at least sue that company to take it down.
But when OpenAI uses your artwork to pump thousands of tons of CO2 into the air, you can't do shit, and according to OP, you shouldn't even complain about your work being taken.
Ehhh, I recently posted elsewhere: about 80 species of mosquito carry dangerous (for human) diseases. The other 3400 are harmless if very mildly annoying. And all of those species share a niche with their harmless genera mates.
It's really really hard to kill just one species though, especially if they DO share an ecological niche with the species you don't want to kill.
The moon and earth are "on" a shared center of gravity. It just so happens to be inside to earth, so meh, we win.
