asciilifeform: the sad thing is, what we're seeing is ~correctly~ working learningmachine.
asciilifeform: 'Kafka then finally suggested Samsa look up DARPA deep brain stimulation, Neuralink, and AlphaGo, and suggested to Samsa that shit got real when Google started offering "predictions". And Google doesn't matter to Kafka or Samsa, but one day, something descended from Google and DARPA's current state will. Because Kafka and Samsa's heads are fucking supercomputers.' << winner!1!
asciilifeform: where was that mircea_popescu story, with the sheep.
asciilifeform: is if it's all you do. or a camera lens would be a great mind.
asciilifeform: bbbbut d00d is rich !!1 ( question invites itself : what idjit's fortune did he inherit ? or esr-rich ) bbbut d00d works on immortality pills of cosmic significance and reads 400 pdfs per week!1 while dump old asciilifeform spent 3 months proving that multiplier works
asciilifeform: ( but let's say you HAD to. i'd use something like the microporated stainless steel filter in my shop vac : 1uM pores. refrigerator coil inside. water -- condenses. when time to clean -- blow compressed air though... )
asciilifeform: yea i have nfi how you could make a collector that dun get clogged with 10,001 species of ???.
asciilifeform begins to grasp the hair-tearing depth of the problem
asciilifeform: ain't it the rain capital of the planet there ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it's a pretty good weapon, as far as these go. ( it it existed... )
asciilifeform: ( and yes, it's still grantolade if the fed prints it and gives it to elon musk et al to keep warm up his arse for a while and only then he gives it to you . )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'mars' is codespeak for 'moar grantolade', strictly
asciilifeform: let'em taste the medicine they prescribed for others.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and hey, ultimate ( at least theoretically ) 'star shield', neh
asciilifeform: it is why i work on, e.g., trb, despite having scarcely any coin personally.
asciilifeform: i for one do not know ( though can make educated guess ! ) what kanzure is doing in bitcoin. but asciilifeform's interest in it is specifically in bringing this whole 'international Consensused We' to a permanent end.
asciilifeform: well kanzure's answer to 'no, i don't want a usa-controlled planeteering death star to exist' was not 'oh hey this 1 d00d doesn't like it, guess i won't advocate to build it'
asciilifeform: i for one have nfi what he thinks he is doing here.
asciilifeform: and the one thing the target always CAN do -- is to withhold the cooperation.
asciilifeform: we are looking at attempted bamboozlement, rather than true domination.
asciilifeform: kanzure et al walk up and say, in essence, 'i own you, meat.' 'your home is my plaything' 'your labour is for me to dispose of'. thing is, if it were true, he would not have to say anything -- just as farmer does not have to say it to the cow
asciilifeform: to be planeteered over, surveilled, dekulakized ( via, e.g., kanzure's 'well-regulated' bait-and-switch shitcointronics ) , re-dieted to mealsquares, etc.
asciilifeform: trinque's point re narcissism was spot on. these people see non-californirasts, who don't subscribe to the collective 'we musts', as NPCs.
asciilifeform: the last generation of idiot-savants gave socialists the nuke. this one wants to give'em, what, death star.☟︎
asciilifeform: but because they drop snr and make a mockery of thinking itself.
asciilifeform: not because 'they will mutilate the earth' -- that threat will be credible some time after they can make an os that actually works
asciilifeform: those who proclaim intent to steal the requisite resources, by politicking -- i call the enemy.
asciilifeform: people who lean to megalomania that they haven't the resources to make flesh -- i find merely boring
asciilifeform: but of the megalomania implicit in taking a serious interest in planeteering, per se
asciilifeform: not speaking of you specifically, kanzure
asciilifeform: it's just indescribably precious, 'i will move orbit of the earth', but can he produce so much as a thermostat that provably follows the claimed algo , rather than daotronic idiocy ?☟︎
asciilifeform: your solar redirector, kanzure , what will the targeting comp run on ? same micropython as your electroporator ?? on what iron ? nsa-intel ?
asciilifeform: and people who cannot master the fully deterministic fucking von neumann machine, talk about usefully diddling genome
asciilifeform: at risk of digressing, i will note that it is gut-bustingly funny that people who cannot produce a comp that doesn't crash, prattle on about planet-reshaping wunderwaffen
asciilifeform: my ultimate goal would be satisfied -- the demolition of californitardia and all it stood for.☟︎
asciilifeform: i'd rather roast to death than live under amerireich.☟︎
asciilifeform: how about 'sun shade' is an instrument of world government, and fuck world government ?
asciilifeform: how about nasa is a subsidy for lockheed, and oughta go away with the rest of the idiot reich ?
