> Elon Musk confirmed on Tuesday (June 23) that SpaceX will call its planned AI satellite megaconstellation "Starmind".
> The choice should come as no surprise, as it continues the company's long-running stellar naming theme.
Reminds me of the movie "Antitrust". Corporation NURV is the bad guy, led by Gary "I'm not Bill Gates, nor his evil successor, Elon Musk" Winston.
> Winston’s company, which seems a whole lot like Microsoft, is working toward the same goal. In fact, Winston claims his new Synapse global communications system will, and I quote, “link every communications device on the planet.” Too goofy. In order to discourage his competitors, Winston has announced a release date for his new software while it is still being written (details like this are why the company seems a whole lot like Microsoft).

The idea is that a monopolistic "synapse" controls information, IMO.

Say, that sounds familiar.
