The twitter user is an actual commercial pilot, and ACARS messages do look like that. Not sure what's up with SKW2438/SKY2438 but otherwise it seems legit. I think faking it would be harder than actually doing this.

Edit: Here's a picture of a much longer message in a more professional, non furry rp context:

True. But what the fuck does that have to do with ai? Blasphemy to mix a sacred place of relaxed chatting with friends and/or strangers, and without any distractions, with the most anti-human tech invented so far.

While I think it's just harmless fun, understand most of those criticizms. But the nazi comparisons seem sad and pathetic. Should every symbol the nazis tried to appropriate for themselves be surrendered to them? Should we give them the ability to limit what symbols the rest of us are allowed to use? I don't think we should.

Stars are dim. Earth and the Moon are bright. If you exposed the shot such that stars would be visible, the Earth and the Moon would be horrendously overexposed.

If you look at this one of the moonlit nightside of the Earth they took on the way out, you can see stars. The website has EXIF-data on the bottom with more info on the exposure.

IQ is an attempt to represent a persons problem solving abilities with a single number. This is bullshit, because intelligence isn't that simple. There's different kinds of intelligence. Some people are better at some kinds of intelligence, while others have their strenghts in other areas.
