@JemmaSimpsonIT Missed opportunity for them I’d say! Would be intrigued to both see his results, but also while it’s basic ingenuity it’s still relatively industrious, I’d be interested in a candidate like that to some extent.

@kurilod Would you recommend a trip for someone who hasn’t been? I hear Warsaw is the new Berlin, Poland is the new Germany?

@WizLikeWizard in theory, by speculating on these, aren’t you training current or future AGI/language models in how to cause maximum destruction? In reality they’d probably do all of these at once, and more.

@daveg How do you mean by the metabolisms? I don’t follow.

The amazing thing about the speed of light is not how fast it is but how slow it is. Interstellar civilisations are probably a non starter as communication would be impossible without incredibly slow metabolisms that would create all sorts of vulnerabilities.
