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.

Which runs on the Antinet. -
@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*.

@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. -

@cmconseils I couldn't even tell if you were wrong, this one is tough to verify or falsify because there were like, 5 different "original" versions of Tetris.
Did they mean the PC version? Between NA and EU there were two different distributors who each made their own version, not counting the original Russian freeware version.
The "original" Nintendo version? There are three of those. One Nintendo made for the NES console, one for the GameBoy, and an unlicensed NES version made by Atari that had to be recalled over a rights dispute.
Did *any one* of those releases have a manual that gave names to the blocks? I don't know! Maybe?! 😂

@cwebber hello!

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

@jakobtougaard thanks
-
@cmconseils And you do - keep on posting 😁

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

just want to make people pee their pants. good jokes just happen to be a good way to accomplish that goal. 😂
