Yeah the joke here is that hiring out shovels is way less of a good businessmodel than actually selling the shovels to the hopeful. In addition to the absurdity of hiring out something as simple as a shovel on an industrial scale.

I wonder if this is the whole of the tech silicon valley, or just the rich assholes at the top.

Next time I'm first going to look up the quote (which is apparently 'Long live the new flesh!") before posting, but you have immortalized my error. :)

Time to Cronenberg it up. Anybody want a new appartment in Roko the skyscraper? Long live the new flesh! No pets!

New form of pykrete made out of manure and ice. Eventually the Icebertarians will get use to the smell (an AI company is also working on a CRISPR fix), and with the problems of excessive manure and thus nitrate in places like the Netherlands, you are paid to take it off their hands! Win win!

And even if it was waste, that you are planning to build megastructures with it makes it no longer waste very quickly, and as there was no demand for the product before and now it is in high demand, the price will prob do some very interesting things. A suggestion was made to use sugarcane bagasse which has no other use it seems. But that would then also quickly get a use and increase in price, which would also do things to the price of replacement products, like sawdust, or straw. And I assume that if the price of straw in the world rises a lot due to this megaconstruction a lot of farmers would be unhappy, but yeah fuck the poor countries.

Yes, and they are still around, same with the Taliban, but for some reason I doubt the Icebertarians will be that anti-fragile. As soon as the first Icebertarian becomes homeless and sets up a tent they will bail. "I'm fine with them doing drugs in their homes, but now they are doing drugs and not even coding javascript! I cant bear it!"

Thanks, you and froztbytes reply answered my questions on if they were doing it and also a bit on how seriously they are all taking it.

Thanks I was not aware, so they are doing things regarding the research at least. So the "concern" isn't totally made up. Which is what I wanted to know. As Architeuthis mentioned the legislation is against false info and against going against the party (which seem to be what you could expect).

Ha, do you think The Hole didn't think of that? It consumes!

NSFW, as NSAB, I know that anti-environmentalists shout a lot about 'what about china china should go green first!' while not knowing china is in fact doing a lot to try and go green (at least on the co2 energy front, I'm not asking here to go point out all the bad things china does to fuck up the environment). I see 'we should develop AI before china does so' be a big pro AI argument, so here is my question. Is china even working on massive A(G)I like the people claim?

I recall reading quite a few of those, but don't recall any specific building ones, esp not which much themes of 'people stop interacting with the outside world'.
