I'm annoyed that most of the answers are just "no".
It's actually a great question, but practical experience has shown that closed-source software is just as buggy when written, and only slightly harder for an attacker to figure out, but much much harder to fix. And that's not even talking about deliberate anti-features, like every app that hoovers up your data and sells it so you can order a pizza.
I'd recommend one, but I'd probably just get it wrong.
There, the obvious joke has been made.
For all the headline readers, "emergent" here means sudden. The models are still plenty intelligent, as you'd expect for something that can write a book on quantum field theory, just in a way that scales linearly with size.
I don't think anybody's mentioned that we actually have road infrastructure built, too. The US Eisenhower highway system is still a candidate for most expensive project in human history as of last I checked. Tearing it all up for rails would take a long time to earn itself back.
That's kind of frightening, given how stupid driverless cars are known to currently be.
Hmm, I wonder how much heat a lightsaber handle could take before it stops working.
Apparently magma chambers have accidentally been drilled into before.
Edit: That's actually in this article, too.
Skylon is a totally different kind of engine, though. It's has a turbojet with active cooling at the inlet, basically. The SR-72 uses a scramjet at high speeds.
It sounds like the enabling tech was 3D printing, based on the Wikipedia article. There must be a really intricate system of tiny channels within it.
A bit of a bait and switch. The article boils down to "raising GDP slightly at the expense of the poor is bad". Something that's not anti-growth, but pretty much conventional wisdom for anyone who actually pays attention to policy.
Hot take, but (sustainably) having more resources is still good, so yeah, we should keep building solar farms and funding startups.
I second this one. CBT is the current scientific golden standard for when you're your own enemy in general.
