I must admit to having mixed feelings as to the Artemis mission. The emotions for this mission are different than those for Apollo. Also, I worked as a system engineer developing Bayesian risk assessment methodologies for parts of the Space Transportation System. The original STS plans included a reusable, crewed launch vehicle, the Shuttle, Earth and Lunar Space stations, a space ship to go between them, and lunar landers. Artemis feels like a waste.

RE: @emilymbender@dair-community.social
All of these are valid. The first one, AI as a field of research, was how I was first introduced to it in 1988 at LPARL. And as a field of research, there had been many useful and interesting algorithms and heuristics. I also learned in 1988 and since, that intelligence is never artificial and machines don’t actually learn.
I would add that AI has been a marketing term since the beginning, first to get grants and later, investments.
Hey @troutgirl@hachyderm.io look what @czds@mastodon.social found. This looks right up your alley when you are feeling better.
