This is an important point solar decreases with distance, at earth you have 100kw of solar, by mars those same panels can only output 33kw, by the near belt those same panels output 13kw - 10kw, by Jupiter you only have 3kw available. We have to have Nuclear power in Space.

i don’t see how not to be a panpsychist. don’t want to be one but seems unavoidable

I think the films themselves are ~fine but I absolutely love the spacecraft design in these movies, maybe my favorite ever. Those radiators!

‼️ ZELENSKYY: For the first time in the war, an enemy position was captured entirely by ground robotic systems and drones - without any infantry. A robot entered the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier and took the positions. «The future is here, on the battlefield, and Ukraine is creating it. These are our ground robotic systems. For the first time in this war's history, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned GRS platforms and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and this operation was completed without infantry involvement and without losses on our side. Ratel, Termite, Ardal, Lynx, Zmiy, Protector, Volya and other GRS completed over 22 000 missions at the front in just 3 months. In other words, over 22 000 times lives were saved. A robot went into the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier» - Zelenskyy’s address to the workers of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex. April 13th, 2026.

‼️ZELENSKYY: We will not sell our weapons like we did in the 1990s. Instead, we will share our knowledge and expertise in exchange for long-term, mutually beneficial security partnerships with Ukraine. “We're building new partnerships on weapons differently than in the nineties or two thousands, when Ukrainian weapons and forces were sold off like it's Black Friday. We're not holding a fire sale of our weapons or emptying our warehouses. We're offering a security partnership that's long-term and profitable for Ukraine” - Zelenskyy’s address to the workers of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex. April 13th, 2026.

Some tech people in SF have a quiet, deep-seated contempt for people of average IQ, or people who work outside tech. For some, this feeds into a complacency toward the idea of AI putting the normies on permanent welfare -- they think normies are already useless anyway.

Recently froze my eggs, and the estrogen megadose it required briefly made me into a completely different (meaning hornier, and cuter, and gayer) person, so I wrote a trip report about it. Link in bio!

the way I see it there are three large vocal camps the accelerationists, the AI safety community, and the anti-AI community
