They will have it. They will just be more expensive as they need to buy it from another country for example.

>Only issue is what to do with the brine/solids left after electrolysis.
Byproducts are chlorine and caustic, both of which are in high demand

Reply to What if AI companies are using our prompts to create low-resolution models of our entire identities? by roiseeker
Marketing doesn't need AI to effectively model our purchasing habits, to the degree that large percentages of the population are making purchases of things, "they didn't know they needed," solely based on the high amounts of "anonymized" data already out there.
I think we've already matched the level of intrusion that OP fears, there's no reason for businesses to purchase Gemini AIs (Copywrited, Reserved etc.)
For something like political persuasion, it's here, any of us have the tools available to make a convincing enough deep fake of a celebrity or politician. Don't trust anything you can't interact with, & don't trust those interactions as much as you personally know someone. With regard to news, find multiple trustworthy organizations, compare & contrast what that group of orgs has to say. Ideally, find some reliable sources with viewpoints differing from your own (I mean like WSJ vs. NYT, not some talking twits of social media).

But the science itself sounds interesting. It seems counterintuitive that a black hole could store information or be useful for computation. Can anyone eli5?

Lol don’t blindly believe things you hear about non-allied countries from allied centric sources. China’s entire economy has been built on reverse engineering technologies and stealing IP. To think they have no plans to manufacture their own chips is just silly.

Do we think adolescent aliens still complain to their parents that their sibling is hogging all the computer time?

Oil companies killing animals and ocean life tho they aren't human, they are still killing life for profit and they get away with it. Other companies in Big Pharma are also responsible for this with humans, especially when it comes to stuff like insulin for the diabetic. It's literally overpriced just so they can make money.
Also, people kill each other while being greedy over things like money all the time. I mean, anywhere you look in America, you're gonna find greed, and often, it's within these bigger corporations that cause the issue. Hence why I think them being greedy is dangerous because it comes at the expanse of the average person.
Also you can look this up, it's very common for people to kill each other over shit lol

Ironically we financed the development of supercomputers so as to make better thermonuclear hydrogen bombs and their delivery systems

Do physics undergrads blogging their stream of consciousness after blunt night at alpha sigma kappa reallllly count as physicists? Asking for a friend.

Delusional thinking. Particle and quantum physics can be fun but there are limits to a human brain

The whole ring around a black hole is just stored data. So this could really be a thing

I think there's a finite need for computing power so you'd have to be in a situation where you couldn't make the computers just like when your own planet. Personally I don't think it would be necessary or viable.

Not comparable. The salt in this scenario came from the ocean in the first place and it's just going back where it came from. It's not like there's additional salt being added to the ocean or a significant amount of water being removed to make it more saline.

Translation: the large utilities and oil companies see pushing a Hydrogen narrative as a great way to delay having to actually cut back on their natural gas infrastructure.
In all honesty, it's a red herring.
EDIT: bring on the downvotes. I work in this arena and this is something that's been discussed at length in more than a few places.

lol... sometimes I can't be convinced I don't live in a simulation. So we have a climate issue... that is melting ice caps... causing sea water to rise... and now we have a technology that would use that sea water to produce hydrogen? that's some homeostasis.

Every chef loves sea salt . . . though you'd have to separate the edible salts from the rest of the precipitates

Reply to Will full self driving be lingering around in beta for a decade or two? by RolfEjerskov
What about making it easier for self driving cars to navigate in our world? Perhaps special road markings/signs made for self driving AI's. That could close the gap faster.
