Agree. A lot of easily verifiable truth claims would be instantly cataloged to be liberal thinking. Conservatism anti-science political opinions will always collide with models that try to answer to their best of their knowledge.

Note: I’m a centrist and strongly disagree with a lot of the ideology in the left and the right.

If you want to be a good denialist you’ll need better arguments my friend.

Let me guess, you think solar panels are chinese spying machines.

Yeah like earthquakes, the top registered earthquake happened 66 years ago.

The fact that you see record breaking more often than log of time implies a drift in one direction.

Hey, we started another war and are funding the most destabilizing force in the world but look at this theoretical war …

As a friendly advice, try critical thinking for a while. It will help you avoid scams in your real life.

Some people have incentives to lie and it’s important to be able to think for oneself and distinguish among them.

Sending to LEO costs around $2,700 usd and 9kWh of fuel per kilogram.

If you manage to send a data center with high end processing units, large array of solar panels, even larger liquid cooling and tick shielding against solar rays you’d have spent probably 100x to 1000x the cost of an equivalent earth data center even without considering hardware deprecation.

You’re better off sinking your data center deep in the sea and even that is probably not happening at large scales.

Couldn’t you say the same argument about VC funded startups? They lose money following a strategic goal.

The main difference here is if a startup goes underwater all the tech is usually lost. The Chinese weights are not going anywhere if the labs fail.

I meant hypothetical, thanks for pointing it out.

Even in the hypothetical that datacenters would double Ireland’s GDP what real positive impact would it have if they pay zero taxes?

If the underlying code ends up being a completely unreadable blob that no human will ever read why not directly do a port to assembly instead of rust?

It'd be cool to have a mode where you input your current base / age / networth and simulate forward.

henry2023 — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:37:41 +0000

If humans can find (and have been finding for millennia) new proofs for well posted math problems, I see no reason why they shouldn’t be able to implement a more performant fully featured version of an existing interpreter.

Strong AGI would be a system capable of terraforming a planet without any external intervention.

I mean, we did it and there have been roughly 117 billion human beings with GI in all of existence.

Not sure if his status as sex offender is relevant in this discussion but it’s funny to see the stereotype in action.

The current narrative is that AI is displacing jobs.

Similar to the current post there’s just not enough data to be conclusive.

It’s as clear as it gets. If a random tourist commits a felony in Nevada you wouldn’t be questioning if he should be subject to Nevada’s jurisdiction.
