Our Reading
“The announcement sounds ambitious.”
Space weapon? Sure, why not. We’ve had satellites for decades. Now they’re calling it a weapon. AI? Not mentioned. Beta? Probably. Privacy? Not an issue in space.
They’re not even pretending it’s new. Just rebranding old tech. “Satellite-based system” – sounds like a glorified camera. Or a very expensive paperweight.
The real innovation? Finally admitting it exists. That’s progress, right?
This is just the military catching up to what everyone already knew.
