We need to stop reasoning about AI like this. Every time it can do something amazing it's "well that's just because its training data is so big, everything is bound to be in there."
Then, when it shows some limitation, it's "Well that's because it must not be in the training data".
It can show a shark jumping out of the moon through a computer screen. It can generate stuff that's not in the data. Also, hands counting down are obviously in t…

When you feel lost, the moon will guide you.
When you feel hopeless, let the winds carry you.
And when you feel like there is nothing left, ask the universe to tell you its story.

Acceleration of nuclear power development is part of the Trump administration’s efforts to focus NASA on human spaceflight
Acting NASA director Duffy cites plans by China and Russia to put a reactor on the moon by the mid-2030s
as part of a partnership to build a base there.
If they were first, China and Russia “could potentially declare a keep-out zone” that would inhibit what the United States could do there, Mr. Duffy said.

Sometimes the mainstream news resembles bad horoscopes where ordinary frequent things are blown into alarms. The moon entering Aquarius is no more 'transformative' than it was last month, or the hundreds of months before that. OMG Mars square Jupiter, just like a year ago.
Oh, and before you jump on horoscopes, I'm speaking metaphorically about mainstream news 😅 In this era of Attention Seeking, the mundane has no place.

Not mine own fears, nor the prophetic soul
Of the wide world dreaming on things to come,
Can yet the lease of my true love control,
Supposed as forfeit to a confined doom.

And the sad augurs mock their own presage;
Incertainties now crown themselves assured,
And peace proclaims olives of endless age.
Now with the drops of this most balmy time,
My love looks fresh, and Death…
Yeah, one of the two guys, a smart engineer, told me the llm answered him why the moon is always facing the same to earth, being the shape of the moon the cause of being locked in place.

Earth's rotation is randomly speeding up,
and nobody is quite sure why.
These speedups, which have occurred several times over the last few years, haven't had any effect on daily life,
but they also haven't gone unnoticed by science.
Tuesday, Aug. 5 is the next date when Earth's rotation is expected to speed up, shortening the day by between 1.25 and 1.51 milliseconds.

Some statistics about all robotic #LunarLanding attempts so far from 1965 to 2025 compiled from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_missions_to_the_Moon and https://scicomm.xyz/@AkaSci@fosstodon.org/114636519291241321 in which I only count those for which descent to the surface had been initiated, not missions lost at launch or on the way - in a nutshell ~70% of all landings by government agencies went well (essentially the same rate 60 years ago and now!) but only ~30% by private companies. Here goes ...
There have been two separate periods of soft lunar landing attempts of ca. a dozen years each, from 1965 to 1976 and 2013 to 2025 (ongoing) with a huge gap between them.
In the first interval there were 20 attempts with 13 successes (Luna 9, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21 and 24 and Surveyor 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7), one partial success (Luna 23, counting as 50%) and 6 failures (Luna 5, 7, 8, 15 and 18 and Surveyor 4), so the success rate was 13.5/20 = 68 %. All missions were by - the Soviet and U.S. - governments.
In the second interval there were so far 14 attempts with 6 full successes (Chang'e-3, 4, 5 and 6, Vikram 2 and Blue Ghost), three partial successes (SLIM, IM-1 and 2, counting as 75%, 50% and 25%, respectively) and 5 failures (Beresheet, Vikram 1, Hakuto-R 1 and 2 and Luna 25) so the success rate was 7.5 / 14 = 54%.
But looking only at the government missions it was 72%, slighly up from 50 years ago. While for the commercial attempts it was only 29%. In total the success rate was 19 (18 government-run) missions out of 34 (28) attempts or 62% but 69% for governments only. And if you throw in the 6 Apollo landings, the total success rate rises to 68% and the government-only rate goes even up to 75%.

Juno Observations of Io's Alfvén Wing From 23 Io Radii: #Alfvén wing at a distance of ∼23 #Io radii south of the moon during perijove 62. Evidence for this passage was clearly seen in the #Juno plasma wave, magnetometer, and plasma data. The plasma wave signature was an intensification of quasi-electrostatic waves below about 1 kHz with a weaker magnetic component, all lasting for about two minutes. A strong perturbation of the magnetic field consistent with strong field-aligned currents was observed at the edges of the Alfvén wing. Ions in the range below about 1 keV/q were slowed within the Alfvén wing. As with other measurements in Io's Alfvén wing, we observe evidence of filamentation. The power in the Alfvén wing based on the measured Poynting flux is estimated to be ∼500–1,500 × 109 W."

Today, the full-moon day of the fourth month ("aashaada") of the #Hindu luni-solar calendar, is "guru poornimaa" in #India and elsewhere.
In #Sanskrit, "guru" is teacher; "poornimaa" is full moon (literally "state of fullness"). The day honors teachers. So, as they say, "shree gurubhyoh namah", or "salutation to the teacher". 🙏
#Trivia: This year's "guru poornimaa" falls on Thursday ("guru waasara"), the weekly day of teachers. There's more to the weekday name "guru waasara", but that's for a rainy day. 🌈
