Ha, do you think The Hole didn't think of that? It consumes!

NSFW, as NSAB, I know that anti-environmentalists shout a lot about 'what about china china should go green first!' while not knowing china is in fact doing a lot to try and go green (at least on the co2 energy front, I'm not asking here to go point out all the bad things china does to fuck up the environment). I see 'we should develop AI before china does so' be a big pro AI argument, so here is my question. Is china even working on massive A(G)I like the people claim?

I recall reading quite a few of those, but don't recall any specific building ones, esp not which much themes of 'people stop interacting with the outside world'.

Yes I know about archologies, but those are all just concept ideas, which is interesting that it lead to these dystopian ideas. I was wondering if there was more to it than just that.

N = 2 (this and judge dredd) right now, but was there a rise in fiction in the 70's/80's where they did the 'people live their whole lives in a skyscraper and didn't come out' thing? Is there some underlying societal fear I'm not super aware of? Or am I making too much of two examples?

Roko even said the 'I think agricultural waste products like straw can be substituted for sawdust so maybe you are paid to take it off their hands.[emph mine]' line. which is always a good sign when somebody is trying to the economically feasible math.

I meant more like treating the icelibertarians like the Houthis and tossing a few missiles into the iceskyscrapers than that kind of what I assume is USA military fanwank video.

Don't worry Roko has the support of the best mind of our generation behind him: Roko: "Elon is absolutely right that Tunnels[sic] would solve traffic"

E: More on the best minds, somebody in the comments : "'it[a country selling their land to a new country] has happened' is far less rare than CREATING the land, which has never happened.". Are we a joke to you? [this sentence was translated from Dutch].

Yeah this new 'military' setup will also quicly lead to them being seen as pirates by 'legacy governments' (who tend to love armed groups showing up, esp near any shipping lanes (if he wants to live anywhere away from the damaged ozone layer (the south of the south pacific seems somewhat empty at least). And the various groups of people in this new libertarian utopia (I'm going to assume it is libertarian) will surely not start preying on each other, or those nice 'legacy' shipping going round. At least 4 people will call themselves Ragnar Danneskjöld.

Yes, good plan, the ozone layer hole craves more skin cancer sacrifices. (And don't forget that hole is prob going to grow due to mega genius musk putting aluminum sats in the sky that burn up in high altitude)

Amusing also that nobody mentions piracy.

But but, tracingwood told us that claiming NRx is close to Rationalism is a lie made up by the evil David G.

iMurdr, murdr is the app for police. Weird overlap in features though.
