Building a mine on the moon might be less cumbersome than in Canada.

I’m sorry, but I’ve seen your comments through this thread and the only close-minded person I’ve seen is you.

I think the last jobs to transition will be government positions, nurses, teachers, and programmers. Just because the “trust” or extreme close interaction with people. I honestly hope the great AI transition will happen fast and smoothly. I doubt it through. I think it could take us a good 50-100 years to fully transition. In that time there will be tons of poverty and hardship. We should come out stronger than ever through. So we might suffer but at least our grandchildren or great grandchildren should live in a paradise that society has been working towards since we started farming/ settling down.

Those drones have incredibly powerful optics with multi-spectral capabilities.

From the article

>If wormholes exist, they could magnify the light of distant objects by up to 100,000 times — and that could be the key to finding them, according to research published Jan. 19 in the journal Physical Review D.
>
>Wormholes are theoretical funnel-shaped portals through which matter (or perhaps spacecraft) could travel great distances. To imagine a wormhole, suppose all of the universe were a sheet of paper. If your starting point were a dot at the top of the sheet and your destination were a dot on the bottom of the sheet, the wormhole would appear if you folded that sheet of paper so the two dots met. You could traverse the entire sheet in an instant, rather than traveling the entire length of the sheet.
>
>Wormholes have never been proven to exist, but physicists have nonetheless spent decades theorizing what these exotic objects might look and how they might behave. In their new paper, the researchers built a model to simulate an electrically charged, spherical wormhole and its effects on the universe around it. The researchers wanted to find out whether wormholes could be detectable by their observed effects on their surroundings.

I second this. Raise and educate, and worry about getting your teen past this first finish line while staying clear of the worst possibilities such as drunk drivers or major health worries. I'll piss enough time away on Reddit for both of us.

Lol.... You mean apart from the elimination of all biological life on earth larger than a small pebble??

I remember years ago my dad rambling on his shit about one day they are going to have AI drones with facial recognition, they will be able to keep track of everyone, and then how long until smaller stealth drones that carry a small caliber round that can get really close to you without you ever knowing and taking you out. I said dad that’s crazy talk.

This sub is mostly full of pessimists (myself included).

But a lot of the problems the mass media hypes about have actual solutions. It's just that nobody wants to implement said solutions.

Anecdotes about your drunk uncle have no relevance to this discussion.

So they are claiming 250% more efficient which makes a 20% efficient cell go to 70‰ efficiency. Not gonna happen. Skip to next clickbait article.

So says you too. Transformers are marginal in the grand scheme of technological progress. If transformers were even 10x more efficient than CNNs or LSTMs, transformers would still be an improvement that came orders of magnitude slower than Moores law. CNNs/LSTMs being decades old.

There's a reason why all articles regarding a singularity uses Moore law as it's base, it's been the largest contributor to our increase in technological advancement over the years. That contributor is ending.

What we should've been doing from the get-go is utilizing automation to shorten the workday. If you have 100 workers, and automation can take over half those jobs, we should've kept the 100 workers and had everyone work half the day with the same paycheck. Then there wouldn't be any concern about any of this stuff. Instead, what we did was allow the rich company ownership to cut the workforce, overwork the remaining workers, and use machines as raw profit. Of course, there are costs with operating machines, I'm not saying they're free, before some chucklehead thinks they have a gotcha. The point is automation has been used to help the rich get richer, instead of helping all of humanity, creating an idea that workers should fear technology instead of embracing it.

The ecosystem model in which loss of biodiversity reaches a tipping point upon which the food web collapses is basically as old as practical numerical computation being available for general research -- the 1970s. The question of how precisely you can characterize the tipping point is a key one in network theory/ecology/biology. So as we have good data on certain ecosystems, such as around agriculture and in certain well-studied areas of rainforest, it is of interest to know whether the next species to go locally extinct will collapse the local ecosystem, as does happen (this or similar network phenomena may be a major cause of the colony collapse epidemic in American honeybees currently, which is chicken-or-egg devastating to biodiversity in areas in which it occurs, and is of course of huge financial concern to agriculture).

So the relation of these kinds of papers to Climate Change and the Anthropocene extinction (i.e. humans destroying habitats and causing things to go extinct super quick) has been warned about for decades. That's the pop sci magazine reporting.

This is awesome new research because they applied this technique -- a rather tricky one in general -- to a very tricky fossil record (for which they also expanded the existing model), and got it seems rather conclusive results. So it probably speaks to the strength of the theory in general, but I would always be cautious about that, since being a powerful tool -- thus being conducive to wide applicability, thus being widely applied, thus being a big part of many explanations -- is not the same thing as conclusively making up proportionally that percentage of the actual explanation... if that sentence construction makes sense. Especially in networks, and especially in systems with limited data.

That was my first hunch too -- that 250% improvement from current state-of-the-art solar-cells would be a gorram miracle if true -- but is a claim much too good to be true so it probably isn't.

The best multi-junction cells are already at over 40% efficiency, so improving that by 250% would result in a cell with 140% efficiency which is a tiiiiiiny bit unlikely on account of things like basic thermodynamics.

The fact that the 250% improvement is loudly proclaimed, but the actual efficiency isn't even mentioned (a very suspicious absense) my guess is that the actual efficiency is anything but exciting. Probably substantially worse than the most common cells today.

We're not going to make it because, as a species, we don't use forward thinking. We've known about climate change since at least the 70s, at least. A large percentage of the population refused to believe it was a reality. Many still do. In all that time, we've done, effectively nothing. I mean, we've done some stuff, but the impact has been little more than to kick the can down the road a few years.

We live as if we have unlimited clean energy with the general thinking being, "we'll get it eventually," and maybe we will, but maybe we won't. In the meantime the planet is turning into a shithole. Look at all the plastic in the oceans, all the garbage in the rivers. You're not supposed to eat more than 2 servings of albacore tuna a week because of the mercury levels. How long until you can't eat any fish (assuming we don't completely wipe them all out)?

We sit around and breed out of control and fight over resources instead of using our brains, and keeping our population at a reasonable size that would allow everyone to have plenty of resources and for the world to be able to recover from the damage we do.

Extreme heat in the day can be used for smelting processes, lunar dust will be an issue but likely the first thing to be addressed by scientific outposts.

I already see that the platforms are limiting the information...the powers that be don't want citizens to have access to too much information.

Well...I'm more concerned with AGI than with any country developing weapons with it...AGI is the weapon....and there is NO STOPPING IT FROM HAPPENING.

There's a lot of difficult stuff on the internet. It's a weird feeling to turn it off. Like you're going to have some serious FOMO. But if you are strong enough to choose... It's actually very easy to focus on positive things in your environment or change your environment. When you try to take on the world's problems by yourself, it becomes like being stuck in mud.

That being said, pursue a passion that gives you a sense of ethical responsibility. If that can be done in fields that help the world get better, we will all love you for it. But you will never be as good at what you're doing without a serious obligation or passion. So in that regard, please sleep on this until there is no doubt it's what you want. We don't half assed people working on these issues, for obvious reasons.

There is still a lot of good around you. Have some hope, and move forward.

If they bend light the same way how will they tell the difference?

The worst thing is that there seems to be no moderation in here to limit these ridiculous posts.

Don't count on it. How else can you circumvent war crimes?
