I've been doing some more work on Mercury Colonization and I genuinely think that rhe colonization and disassembly of Mercury into a massive manufactorum shellworld and ~million kilometer solar collector swarm can happen in ~single digit years with AI. 1 year is probably too aggressive but I think 1 presidential election cycle is doable (3-4 years). It would be a Kardashev Type 1.7 civilization, vastly superior to Earth and capable of creating massive megastructures such as Banks Orbitals, disassembling other planets and planetoids, as well as powering AI compute at a level vastly beyond what Earth can. Economics on Earth will increasingly be dominated by human political problems so a move to Mercury makes sense; Mercury also gets 10x the sunlight of Earth so it is easy to disassemble quickly and provides more power.

@distant_earth83 Definitely a wobbly-pop and/or other accompanying adulterants kinda podcast. Great watch.

Drunk Bob Lazar on Rogan is easily my Friday highlight. This literally feels like one of those late-night terrace conversations where everyone’s still hanging out way too deep into the night. But it’s kind of wild “how much of a scientist” Lazar actually is, even the alcohol didn’t completely throw him off his game.

@Scearpo I first heard about it yesterday so I assumed it was an April Fool's Day joke. Apparently it's a thing? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanuts_a…

This just tastes like peanuts and Coca Cola. I cannot believe you retards fooled the Japanese and therefore me into trying this.

So this is how Claude Code's $20 pro plan is like 🤣😂

@Perpetualmaniac @LokiJulianus Also this. Request timed out. Didn't output a thing but chewed through all my available credits.

Anthropic is committing suicide right now. Everyone is exhausting their AI credits in hours. I just got back from vacation and exhausted nearly all my credits in 3 hours. This bug has been up for over 3 days and no fix has been issued. No AI credits refunded. reddit.com/r/Anthropic/co… github.com/anthropics/cla…

@TukiFromKL We all know what we're all not saying. For fear of manifesting it into this world.

🚨 let me tell you what's actually happening today.. this morning Trump fired his Attorney General.. tonight Pete Hegseth.. a man who has never held a combat command in his life.. just forced out the Army Chief of Staff.. General Randy George.. a career officer with decades of command experience.. here's the pattern nobody's connecting.. there is only one reason you fire the people at the top of your legal AND military apparatus in the same day during an active military escalation.. they said no to something.. this has one historical parallel worth knowing.. in 1951 Truman fired General Douglas MacArthur during the Korean War.. MacArthur was the most celebrated general in America.. a legend.. and Truman fired him anyway.. the difference is what makes today terrifying.. Truman fired MacArthur to PREVENT him from expanding the war into China.. he was stopping escalation.. Hegseth just fired his most senior general to ENABLE something.. the AG is gone.. the Army Chief of Staff is gone.. both on the same day.. both replaced by people who haven't said no yet.. we asked this morning what Trump needed done that Pam Bondi wouldn't do.. now we're asking what order Randy George refused.. and both questions have the same answer.. we just don't know what it is yet.

Joey, the rescued baby otter loves crunching ice

This is the worst feeling @AnthropicAI. Just the worst.

@JadeAtrophis x.com/tomnowa/status…

Peak fun fact:

The 'Doctrine of Discovery' should apply to space colonization. Extraterrestrial bodies are terra nullius until ownership is claimed by being the first to "discover" and plant a flag on it.

@JadeAtrophis And it falls under the Diocese of Orlando, so the Church recognizes this claim.

Does it have your flag on it? Didn’t think so, bucko

@rkylesmith This better be a headline somewhere within the hour. Come on @nypost. You can do it!

20 years ago today, ‘The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya’ premiered.

WAIT… WHAT?? Rep. Tim Burchett just went on TV and said what he’s seen about aliens would cause chaos if revealed Then adds… he’s not suicidal Also says they’re given locations of unknown “items” Yeah… something about this is different. Thoughts? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@tszzl Three-way race now between Aliens, ASI and WW3. LFG.

tbh I only feel more accelerationist as the capabilities ramp … the scaredest I was was in early 2023

We're going back to the f**king moon, baby!!!!!

@hope_pead He's not a Lion, and he'll never cross the Rubicon. It's so very disappointing.

@DanielW_Kiwi @TheEbonyMaw

@TheEbonyMaw I don't understand. What is the message?

Really speaks to the frailty of people like this. As someone who just assumes every famous, talented, mainstream artist holds beliefs adversarial to my own, I can’t imagine having an internal crisis about it.

The Artemis Moon base project is legally dubious theverge.com/science/905406…
