There is also the part where all the crowd in a rather large region all simultaneously go “somewhere” to do “something” and no human knows where that place is or what they do there.

Only every other nipple set would be erotic.

I think Mormons would be so into this. Also, if Israel still wants to do some colonialism, Idaho is like, right there.

Christa Pike:

That compression strap better be functional.

Sorry lets compress it down to a 30 second brainrot clip read in an AI voice.

Kept looking for Canadian Bacon radio

Should make an enemy territory mod based on this.

Always a fan.

Straight to jail.

Western Media: :WHY ARE YOU FORCING US TO DESTROY OUR OWN MANUFACTURING BASE!?!??"

China:

Such a weird framing. Can it really be targeting when the broader “manufacturing West” basically self sabatoged from 2010 onward when it comes to batteries and electrification?

It’s not so much China “targeting dominance”, it’s that theyre walking in an open lane which western countries ceded decades ago. And it’s a lane paying crazy dividends. Dividends which were obvious 60 years ago.

This is mostly just western countries refusing to do anything material to shift from petroleum economies.

Strix halo can support even bigger models, if slower. Also weird to put export controls on something your country doesn’t technically manufacture.

There’s no real stopping people from getting access to the technology required to run these models. And for the wast majority of the questions, speed isn’t as much the issue so much as memory capacity.

Unlikely. Maybe teaming with precursor chemistry for life.

I’ve been saying this since the moment the first new horizons images became available. Precursor chemistry for life happens on icy bodies orbiting at a distance where the freeze thaw cycle is sufficient for carbon oxygen and carbon nitrogen bonds to occur.

And there are a fucking shit ton of these bodies orbiting most stars. And there is no rush. The longer they orbit the more time precursor can build up. Then some shit goes down and one bad day, it smacks into an earth like body. The hydrothermal vents are a great addition but the main thing this solves is the concentration issue.

At least on earth there is no obvious way to concentrate enough interesting chemistry into one place for the more complex lipid, protein, DNA, RNA systems to get going. There are potential mechanisms for their production but no obvious way to concentrate them to a sufficient degree where life like or systems could form.

Precursor impact theory solves all of this and comes with its own thermodynamic equilibrium solution to boot.

Lies. Nobody asked for this
