Batteries are inferior to hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are more energy dense, easier to transport, and only produce co2 which is not a concern once u have the ability to mass drain the atmosphere from co2. Co2 production and recycling can be a closed loop with biosynthesized hydrocarbons.
Only reason youd use batteries was if energy efficiency of hydrocarbon generation from sun couldnt be brought up to par with battery energy storage.

He only lacked toes in taller ants. Shorter ants had toes, but now he grew toes for the taller ants.

Carbon nanostructured is ballistic conductor iirc. And biological pipes are far better than artificial pipes. Humans have gene defect on vitamin c synthesis that causes pipe clogging, but there are animals that last for multiple centuries without clogging of their pipes.
Imagine pipes that expand, contract self repair and self clean.

Presumably there will be a massive amount of salvageable and reusable materials in the thousands upon thousands of office buildings people will no longer be using.

>Your team decides what data to even train it on. There will be sources of data that a culturally diverse team will think to include that a non-diverse team won’t even know exists.
I'm a lil confused, are you saying that culturally diverse data (CDD) will/can be free of the biases we are trying to avoid?

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Facebook is, far and away, the biggest funder of VR games. It has nothing to do with Horizon Worlds. Most of the large studio VR games that do exist, do so solely because they were partially or fully funded by Facebook's creator funds. VR games don't make any profit, so nobody wants to develop for it.
They're also the only company that sells an affordable headset. I hate to break it to you, but nobody's going to create games for systems that have no consumer base. Hell, even with the large success of the Oculus headsets, the players base is still too small to warrant development in the space (that's entirely why Facebook has to fill the void in the first place).

Gene therapy is as permanent as it gets... It may not necessarily be permanent because of the epigenome and because of poor dna replication... Dna replication isnt 100% accurate

With a home server, maybe. Corpo AI, no thanks. Also, it's more interesting for robots with bigger batteries. Stay at home with your robowaifu, therefore care less about your phone.

Mud isnt the only ubiquitous thing, carbon is as well a diamond or diamondoid house is easy.

It didn't take off, and there are enough gamers with money but they want games for their expensive hardware. Meta is a burden to the ecosystem.

Utilities? U mean water and electricity? That can be captured from rain and from sun. Carbon from the atmosphere can be used to build diamondoid materials and nanotubes. Allowing for structures 100x stronger than steel. Nanostructured carbon is believed may be strong enough to build a cable into space.
Similar use of cheap ubiquitous minerals allow for creation of electronics, antennas, filters, insulation once they are nanostructured.
A day will come when the infrastructure itself is alive and the buildings grow and repair themselves according to designs.
Shortly after agi asi is likely and shortly after asi mastery of nanotechnology. Nanomachines allow for human equivalent droid creation. But also the structures themselves can grow change repair and clean as needed.

> It would have fizzled out 3 or 4 years ago without Facebook throwing millions of dollars into a pit.
This is utter nonsense, since the Metaverse didn't draw a lot of people in. There would be more VR games by now and more games geared towards high end gamers.

As above, but drugged up. I'm sure AI can invent a suitable drug.

I think, they lured a lot of devs away from game development with loads of money and then used them for working on their meta thingy which goes nowhere. They're trying to make everything into one platform which they control and also everything geared towards mobile devices.

They say "do what you love for work, and you'll never work a day in your life." And that is a complete crock of shit. If you do what you love for work, what you will do is turn what you love... into work. Don't burn out on what you love. Don't "dread Mondays" because you have to go do what you loved once. Don't gripe about how you really aren't being appreciated doing what you used to love, but now are kinda neutral on and, honestly, some days are having trouble remembering what it was you even liked about it. And so on down the spiral. That's what happens, mostly, when you start out doing what you love for work.
Just find something you can stand to do for a living, and do the stuff you love on the side. Not as employment, but because it's what you love. Then there won't be any burnout, AND the AI revolution won't eat you.

Probably didnt do it right and it is supposed to be somewhat permanent... I will say cells can accumulate dna mutations over time due to environmental factors and faulty dna replication... Idk if 5 years is long enough... He probably didnt have enough dna editing viral vector

You just don't get it.
>There is no reason to believe an AGI would think the same way. It cares only about his goals.
Only if you make it that way. Then it still wouldn't have the power.
>What I meant was that the AGI has to keep existing, because that's necessary to achieve its goal, whatever that is.
Only if it is created in a way to think these goals are absolute and need to be archived no matter what. The comparison with some employee is a good one, because if they can't do what they are supposed to do with some reasonable effort, then they report back that it can't be done or that it will be more difficult than anticipated. It's not just caring about humans, but about effort and power. AI doomers just make up the idea that some future AI would somehow be different and also have the power to do whatever it wants.
