Hey readers, it's the 42nd issue of the White Pill, your favorite newsletter covering developments at the frontier of space, science, engineering, AI, and more.

Also — slight change in this newsletter. Instead of the Space section, we're starting it with a plug for a piece we recently published on the White Pill, Aaron Slodov's Techno-Industrial Manifesto. While detailed and somewhat technical, his piece advocates for the unfortunately rare position that we're pursuing a post-industrial society at our own peril. I view the piece as an extremely important update to the narrative (and, of course, a white pill). Please give it a read.

Also, I was on the Tech Policy Podcast on Wednesday discussing why we publish the White Pill, and the most mind-bending items from some of our past issues. The episode is an hour long — listen here.
