  • I think we're past profitable mattering at this point, even if the next model of chatGPT causes your eyes to bleed after prolonged use they'll make it profitable by forcing its use anywhere and everywhere no matter how inappropriate it is for any given application.

    We're already there with some products like cars and phones where we just get told what to want and ignored if we disagree.

  • I guess that could work? Earth is actually the densest planet in the solar system so our baseline mass > size ratio might actually be a bit abnormal.

  • Iirc near that +50% level you end up needing a saturn 5 to launch sputnik, so its more expensive to the degree that it might just be deamed unfeasable, at least at the technology level humans started launching rockets at.

  • The problem is you can't have mountains like that on tectonically active planets (a mountain that big on earth would sink into the mantle), which is kind of a prequisite for a long-term magnetosphere so its unfortunately not something a species could likely ever have except as a result of terraforming a world like mars and setting up some kind of artificial magnetosphere.

  • Option 1 is hope for a new beginning too depending on certain theories.There's a lot of fancy math involved that I don't understand but the upshot is that mathematically a completely barren uniform universe and an infinitely dense point are technically identical and theoretically one could spontaniously become the other.

  • People born in the late 90s onward sure do, we get to see every expected milestone dissapear under a pile of enshitification and vanishing wages/opportunities as people who increasingly seem like disney villains do their best to make everything even worse.

  • Most of the developed world has the same societal problems that boil down to, no one has the money, time or energy to have kids.

  • Or you just create a new timeline each time so you can't actually mess up your original timeline.

  • Everything that is now a DLC or microtransaction was instead some cool secret you could find or unlock, the games were smaller but that discovery meant they FELT so much bigger.

  • Why not both? People have been complaining nuclear takes too long to build for several times longer than nuclear takes to build.

  • I'll switch to legacy systems before I pay for a subscription service.

  • I believe there is a generator with functional prototypes in the US and China that uses supercritical CO2? I mean its basically a steam engine but using a different medium and potentially even more efficient.

  • Even then all of them but solar are just spinning a wheel.

  • Externalized cost = freeAs far as any and every large company is concerned anyway.

  • This is honestly one of the scarier parts about the rhetoric, they're basically implying they would happily enslave a sentient being.

  • Strong magnet or some kind of taser on a long stick, ez takedown.

  • I've been thinking about this lately in regards to how shitty food is getting, with shrinkflation a lot of stuff now has smaller portions sizes but the calorie count usually remains the same, presumably due to adding more sugar to mask the taste of replacing ingrediants with cheaper alternatives, fresh produce isn't spared either as most meat and vegetables turn a lot sooner and are sometimes already beginning to turn the same day you buy them. The result is a decreasing ability to have more than a day or twos worth of fresh ingrediants on hand and frozen food (or worse) just getting simultaniously less health and less filling.

  • Its early adoption problems in the same way as putting radium in toothpaste was. There are legitimate, already growing uses for various AI systems but as the technology is still new there's a bunch of people just trying to put it in everything, which is innevitably a lot of places where it will never be good (At least not until it gets much better in a way that LLMs fundementally never can be due to the underlying method by which they work)

  • He's a good showman, its basically the cornerstone of his current success, he may not appeal to you or me but he has that used car salesman, carny barker style energy that really appeals to a certain kind of person.
