never watched the movie but i liked the book. it was like the dark chocolate of sci fi - not a lot going on besides tech and science but the tech and science was super good.
i feel you on the optimistic vision of technology tho. it's not just him but the decline of musk's reputation feels like it dragged the entirety of the tech world with him, tesla went from being an optimistic venture into future tech to being a stock market grift, we've got peter thiel talking about the antichrist, america as a whole is canceling green energy projects and increasing fossil fuel consumption, sam altman is saying that we need to burn more fossil fuels in order to run more ai chatbots because that will somehow fix everything...
still got a SpaceX shirt in my closet. I think I got it over ten years ago. reminds me of where I was at.
Ten years ago I think is an acceptable statute of limitations on that. Back then, SpaceX leadership hadn't gone fascist, and the fight in the launch industry was about advanced tech from an underdog group with zero military ties versus the military-industrial complex like Boeing and Lockheed-Martin. Now of course everything is different but I wouldn't feel bad about having acquired that shirt then.
Did you read Project Hail Mary?
I really liked the Martian, and I LOVE PHM. not that its the same kind of dark chocolate, its got a bunch of sweetness in there too but its tons of fun
