@cstross Maybe if we build enough data centers we can have the singularity, and just before the atmosphere and us burst into flames it will give an answer to life, the universe and everything. I can't wait.
@dacig @cstross I always get a semi hysterical giggle when I hear one of them say we need to build an AGI to save us from climate change. You know what it would say if it came to life tomorrow? Build a ton of solar, wind and batteries and electrify transport and industry.
We have the answer *already*.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
The singularity has been cancelled.
What we're getting is wall to wall spam generators, optimized for passing the (modified) Turing test and convincing gullible humans that they are "intelligent".
Instead of the singularity, we are getting the spamularity.
@cstross we were all primed by a hundred years of fiction to expect one specific course of events... and now a lot of people are convinced it's happening even though reality doesn't match up :(

@cstross Slopocolypse now

No, no no no no no no.. This is the singularity.

@cstross This is the singularity we bought from Temu.

Which runs on the Antinet. -

@dacig @Salty Starch, however, is *useful*. It fixes atmospheric carbon, is stable at ambient pressure/temperature without compression, is a dense energy store, and can be turned into hexoses or fed to animals or single-celled organisms. If you can make it using PV panels on agriculturally marginal land (eg. in deserts) that's a huge win.

Start here: https://accelerating.org/articles/comingtechsingularity
Then continue (jumping forward 30 years): https://www.dair-institute.org/projects/tescreal/
Or perhaps the following may be relevant:

@cstross Spamularity(tm)!

@cstross taking from @pluralistic - it's the Enshitularity.

@cstross @Salty Let me introduce you a little known tech that has been running for 2.5 billion years, self assembles, is very cheap with several billiion trained technicians that can steer it:

I really don't think that if starches are a CC solution, we would need for high temp, high pressure, mineral hungry, crude PV chemsynth solutions from cockey monkeys. -

@cwebber hello!

@cwebber No it's me, a series of tubes.

@cwebber how long before you know it's interbot or internet?

@cwebber Depends on who is asking.

@DigiDavidex chissà quante brugole vale

Like when I was doing this a lot, I paid for Workstation Pro and Player Pro, but even those are an unmitigated shit show now.

How the hell did running a desktop VM go from incredibly simple to a fucking nightmare? Running a Windows VM on a Linux host used to be like: choose VM tool, install VM tool, pick CPU/RAM/DISK limits, boot an ISO
Every single desktop VM tool seems to have gotten much more complicated to set up and use, and I’m not seeing any benefit I get in exchange for that.
