Anthologies
gollark: Merry birthday!
gollark: I don't think it would work very well. PDFs are basically just images with text layers or something and a stupidly convoluted format.
gollark: Is there an EPUB version? PDFs are annoying to read.
gollark: There will have been millennia to refine flowcharts and/or to just stick fairly general AI in there, so I don't see the problem. Just have a nonvolitional narrow AI to manage piloting.
gollark: Even it the people are very reliable and consistent, the autopilot can be made equally so without requiring someone to actually sit there running it.
