Human's have done some impressive things. We're unravelling the mysteries of the universe and building some amazing tech. Yes, a powerful few of us have done some horrific things, to ourselves and to the creatures we share our home with, but I don't think it was all for nothing if that's what you're getting at.

It's gonna be locked down. Everyone wants a holodeck, but imagine there are so many rules and regs on what you can and can't do in one that it's not even worth it?

Imagine playing GTA, but:

  • you can't hijack a train full of people
  • buildings don't take any damage when you fly helicopters into them
  • people's limbs don't detach when you sever them
  • you can't make idle small talk with random NPCs without it escalating into violence

Would that be a GTA you would actually play?

I just want reliable long-term storage. Even if it's a trickle of power coming out, I want it to be reliable and large, so that I can just throw energy at it when I don't need it and can rely on it when I do.

Genghis, we've talked about this before: you can't snap arrows and push EV's at the same time -- there needs to be a transition period.

Here's the thing. You are all trillion of your features, but you are mostly an informative subset of maybe a million. You drop a verse of shakespeare from your memory and you'd essentially be the same person.

Your memories don't encode every single thing that has happened to you, they encode blurry snapshots of fast-decaying events and flatten them over time depending on importance, filling in the blanks with other parts of your mind (made with other blurry decaying events).

If you thought AI was bad at hallucinating events, be glad you cannot ask your brain direct questions

No one remembers Phoebe, because Chandler always stole the show.

I'm here to make a flippant sarcastic comment about us already having fusion, and that all we need is enough solar panels to capture it. I thank you for your time, and yes I will go eff myself.

Hell, they sound like idiots -- so I'm all for this

Easy -- Nintendo simply has to release innovative Mario game after innovative Mario game to keep the community efforts at bay.

Why maintain a 20 year old game, when you can play the latest game with the knowledge that it too will be open sourced in X years?

I love my wife and daughters, but I don't feel that they're on my side.

Benefit is that dueling was primarily done by rich white guys over issues of ego, so our tech CEOs would fit in just nicely whilst having the join benefit of removing half of them from the gene pool
