Reply to 7 international companies have teamed with the EU to form the International Hyperloop Association, the industry's first trade body. by lughnasadh
I can't help wondering what would happen if all this money was invested in buses (both on-demand and scheduled to accommodate those in rural areas where it's arguably too expensive to have a regular schedule) and trains.
We have an ageing population globally, and given the delays/lack of scale /etc of autonomous shuttles and cars, there's going to be a whole lot of people prohibited from accessing in-person services and participating in daily life.
Hyperloop will not happen anytime soon, they are still in the R&D and partnerships phase by and large.

If somebody wants to enter the Pleasure Cube, then I say let them. I wont, most people I dont think would, but to those who want it I see no issue. Even if the entire human race did, so what? Hedonism is only a problem when its causing trouble for other people, otherwise I say have at it.

This is what I am saying. I never said governments have to control these things.

Lmao I just imagined a multi-attachment robot arm that comes down from the ceiling and connects to your lower body with a seal and then just vacuums away waste and cleans you with water.

Reply to What if AI companies are using our prompts to create low-resolution models of our entire identities? by roiseeker
Not specifically using data from prompts, but chatgpt and other ai tools can already imitate famous artists/people. So you could probably train these ai with specific data from individuals to get some results

Then they'll get a low resolution model of Deez Nutz. People aren't giving the best prompts if you've not noticed. It's easier to just get people to use Facebook or Twitter, then look at their purchasing patterns.

Are you kink shaming my furry sex machine preference!?
Also, can you describe this automatic toilet robot function in greater detail? Is it just poo and pee, or are there .... more options?

Only Nazis use dehumanizing words like "degeneracy." You can discuss these still very relavent issues without using words like that.

They 'might' be using them as an inter-dimensional slip and slide.

I'm sorry "scientists" but your not going to be allowed to mess about trying to create microsingularities to test this "theory". The risk of solar system get nommed is to great to risk. Do something less risky.

We cant even get our governments to stop shitting on us and trying to shove bugs in our mouths and you want to give them power over greenlighting inventions? Maybe just teach your kids how to be responsible

A substantial majority of people didn't want to be around Jews or black people for very similar reasons at certain points in history. They felt they had a duty to "shun" them for being different.
See where this thinking brings you? Once someone gets to decide who is right and who is degenerate, that's when society becomes unbearable for innocent people.

Then they should be able to tell what I actually want to buy and advertise appropriately. They miss the mark 99% of the time with me.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/Gari_305:
From the Article
>In a recent study, a German-Georgian team of researchers proposed that advanced extraterrestrial civilizations (ETCs) could use black holes as quantum computers.
Also from the article
>The research was conducted by Gia Dvali, a theoretical physicist with the Max Planck Institute for Physics and the physics chair at Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, and Zaza Osmanov, a professor of physics at the Free University of Tbilisi, and a researcher with the Kharadze Georgian National Astrophysical Observatory and the SETI Institute.
