Yeah I'm sure they'll look the other way if you pay 1.5x the market price

I've had bitcoin transactions that literally took several days to process. This was also using an average fee. The more people using bitcoin, especially to handle common every-day transactions, the worse this problem would get.

AI is not doomed, LLMs or consumer AI products, might be

In industries AI is and will be used (though probably not LLMs, still, except in a few niche use cases)

Mood

I don't know about others, but in my friend group there's an unspoken rule that you do not record or take a picture of people without their consent. Or at least, if you do, to, say, capture a moment, you ask them if it's okay afterwards.

Another problem is the increased complexity of fossil fuel vehicles, specifically in stuff like the engine, gears, pollution filters, etc. A fossil fuel vehicle is just intrinsically more complicated. Which doesn't directly relate to the density, but it gives electric vehicles an advantage.

Once everything is set up properly it just works tbh. Meanwhile in windows updates broke something every other time.

Yes I know degrowth isn't about population, that's what I said?

But if population naturally declines, I really don't think it's a good idea to try to reverse that trend. Less people means less resources consumed, and better quality of life for those children. Prioritize the people already alive over those that aren't born. We have more than enough people in the world, and a lot of those people's potential is not fully reached due to inequality.

Degrowth isn't just about population, or even about it at all. Degrowth is about doing the opposite of what capitalism forces us to do, infinite growth on a finite planet.

But also, the last thing we should do is incentivize birthing more people. We have increasing amounts of automation technologies, we don't need more people.

I guess because the Gen Z comp sci students are the people who are truly fluent in computers. We were immersed in the internet and digital technology from a young age, but also had the curiosity to go beneath the surface of them, and get a real understanding of how things work. Most people just use the technology superficially, even if they have grown up with the internet and computers.

Of course it's assuming that's how advanced propulsion tech works. But it is useful to try to detect, just in case that's how it actually turns out to work, no?

And if we detect something interesting, like a potential warp bubble collapse, well, that also gives us a strong hint that it's possible, helping us to direct research in the right path.

Detecting techno-signatures of aliens would be super useful for us.

It can be useful in explaining concepts you're unsure about, in regards to the reading part, but you should always verify that information.

But it has helped me understand certain concepts in the past, where I struggled with finding good explanations using a search engine.
