If the ai maxxys are right and quantum native networking doesn’t work then this is the reality Security only works cause we have key exchange via one way functions etc… if superintelligence shows those problems are soluble & can’t find true 1 ways then we have ze big problem

I do get the distinct feeling that none of the guys discussing AI on podcast have ever worked at a normal company for any extended period of time.


CHART OF THE DAY: By 2050, the world will be consuming lots of oil — or almost nothing. The annual @IEF_Dialogue review of all the major energy scenarios shows that the high and low points for oil demand in 20250 are apart by ~119m b/d, more than today's consumption. Go figure!





A cow takes grass (inedible to humans) and produces: - Meat (complete protein + fats) - Milk (complete nutrition) - Leather (clothing, tools) - Tallow (cooking fat, soap, candles) - Bones (tools, broth, fertilizer) - Organs (nutrient-dense food) - Manure (fertilizer) This is complete resource utilization from a plant humans cannot eat. You cannot replicate this with any technology. The cow is performing chemical transformations we cannot industrialize. Grass → complete human nutrition is alchemy. The cow is worth more than any machine humans have invented. It runs on rain and grass. Produces multiple products. Builds soil while operating. Sequesters carbon. Reproduces itself. And we're told to eliminate them for environmental reasons. While flying in almonds from California and soy from Brazil. The stupidity is breathtaking.
