Icarus Robotics is a startup with at least six million dollars in funding so far. the idea is to train robots on human workers to make space mass production… work. or something.
anyway i don’t see any red flags
Obvious grift company aside, take a guess what the Greek air force officially calls their flying officers.
Although to be fair being deliberately morbid is a definitely a thing in the military, and the writing on their logo is doric greek for “We’ll do better”.
They say “the arts” are a waste of time.
As I grow older, I realize that the technical skills are easy to acquire and that knowledge, understanding, and wisdom takes time.
With a name like that, there’s no limit to the heights they can reach!
A new life awaits you in the Offworld Colonies!
what a name choice
just fucking stunningly naked grift, incredible
Coincidentally, I was passing Brasilia airport yesterday, and there’s a company called “Icarus Aviation”. Which I thought was a … bold … choice of name.
I guess the real innovation we might hope from a company like this is that they make robots that don’t break, even when they fall from LEO. 🤣

Their favourite part of the Story Of Icarus was when Icarus jumped in the IcarusMobile and shouted “It’s Icarussin’ Time” and then sped away in a cloud of smoke
Spoiler ahead for B5: And then Icarus will discover a strange dark ship.
And we’ll get the second worst film
@sc_griffith Icarus Robotics, a division of Hubris Holdings.
Ha, that is the same name the sun energy system has in the Peter Watts Blindsight series.
It eventually falls into the sun.
@sc_griffith “Soma Capital”, eh?
@sc_griffith Nuke them from low Earth orbit
This reminded me of this.
