But the final decisions made usually depend on the incentive structures and mental models of their leaders. Those can be quite different...
who is actually behind this?
Congrats!

why should it be any different on mars than on earth?
> This show has a cool premise, that being what if the space race never ended. It's a sort-of alternate reality and it does a good job of weaving in actual historical events with where the timeline diverged. The main problem is that I feel like the show is being pulled in two directions. In one direction, there is the tension of the space race, engineers scrambling to be the first on the moon/mars and dealing with all manner of technical issues in a realistic-ish way. That part of the show I enjoy. Then, for some reason, the show also throws in a bunch of trite interpersonal drama and stupidity. Like inter-marital affairs, people leaking NASA secrets to the soviets, and a CLEARLY unstable drug-addicted astronaut being given solo control of a super important mission. It's like the showrunners thought the show couldn't stand on it's own without dumb drama, as if there couldn't organically be issues and drama in the context of Frigging SPACE. The first season does this better, but by the 2nd/3rd seasons most of the issues come not from unforeseen difficulties of life on the moon/mars but idiots. It really makes me wonder if they just aren't sure who their audience are. The people who like the technical stuff are not going to like the artificial drama, and vise-versa. Pick a lane, show, and stick with it.
they are more like star clusters than galaxies. Galaxies usually have a lot of mostly circular momentum with arms forming etc.
might be even the better marketing term "Software star clusters"
not to mention the widely accepted hypothesis that galaxies require dark matter to be held together... we don't want to dive into the analogy here for software, or do we? ;-)
it makes sense to then also shift the open source stream in that direction, which is happening with Leap 16.
so it is up to the fabric of our society and everyone involved in dealing with the technology, how the rules and boundaries are set.
that there will be military use is obvious. However, it is naive to think one can avoid military use by others by not enabling oneself for it.
I think for personal use or very small businesses that should be good enough.
It is also quite straightforward to switch between leap and SLES and back if you decide to switch your support setup.

Also the nice thing for headphones within apple is, that the airpods automatically switch to where the attention is... meaning e.g., in case I watch something on the laptop and pick up an iphone call (no matter if via phone or any app) the airpod automatically switches
in case Apple would come up with the idea to take an ipad as external compute unit that would be amazing... just double your ram, compute and screen with it in such a lightweight form factor... should be possible if they want
for a human readable view of this you can look e.g. here https://docsfortec.com/sap/S4/tables/ACDOCA
Would have been nice to explain how people would be employed in an AI scenario and how they would benefit from the surpluses created by it.
The issue is rather, that most people rely on these convenient services 100% and dont (want to) think about what happens in a bad case scenario.
Especially, if your setup changes often, you can have various presets to make life easier
