Perhaps Mr Musk could improve his public perception by PERSONALLY paying for this rather than making Starlink and its shareholders bear the cost? Some of the journalistic coverage of this seems to equate 'acts by Starlink' to personal acts by E. Musk. And, as other commetards have noted, he likes the positive coverage but not the negative.
Surely it would be more helpful to the world at large if these 'AI' efforts could turn their attention to punctuation. Taking the crap that people (and this 'AI') produce and formatting it for readability. You know stuff like no spaces before commas and full stops, one space after a comma, two spaces after a full stop, Oxford commas (now that the US courts see them as pretty darned useful), and capital letters at the beginning of sentences and on proper names. Once this is done all manner of help can be offered to real people - "fix up your Facebook posting for you Sir?", "Fix up your email Ms?", "Would you like to look less dumb on Twitter?". Just sayin'.
And just what does "The jacket is designed to withstand up to 10 washes ..." mean? Is it "this jacket might be able to withstand 10 washes, but after that it will fail" or "this will withstand at least 10 washes, maybe more"? Typically ambiguous statements like this will be used for hiding behind later.
Perhaps this will prompt other CAs to review their behaviour, seeing as there actually are consequences. But don't hold your breath.
The possibility that WoSign / StartCom are the only companies running below par operations is very low. Perhaps this is Mozilla / Apple putting a warning shot across the (low end of the) industry's bows?
Should entities like banks etc. have published public keys so that customers can verify emails have come from 'Marketing at XYZ Bank' or 'XYZ Bank'? The peeps in marketing need their own key so they won't poison the reputation of the proper part of the enterprise. One could hope that the process to get messages signed would be rigorous enough and bypassing would be a sacking offence so that it would be taken seriously.
