“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”
In this thread I will chronicle the rise of artificial general intelligence.

I want the moon turned into a celestial sized industrial stripmine the likes of which has never been seen and may never been seen again and I’m not joking. Bore into the crust, the mantle, strip it to the core and keep going
"Musk has sharp elbows and prevented rivals from emerging."
It's the complete opposite you simple caveman.
Musk entered a mature industry with a stagnant private sector, dominated by state-owned ventures like Russia's launch sector.
All the experts said he was doomed to failure, but he succeeded. His success emboldened others and encouraged new competition.

Oh you’re just a simple caveman.
Starlink and SpaceX launch platforms are essential facilities for the U.S. military and foreign militaries. Musk has sharp elbows and prevented rivals from emerging.
If Boom ever becomes that important you should expect and welcome scrutiny.

I understand not liking Elon Musk.....But many Democrats hate him for one reason: he's rich.
They will deny that, of course, but I saw this hatrid develop first hand.
Musk used to be strongly associated with moderate left wing causes.
He championed the danger of climate change and the need for sustainable energy, so he:
✔️Started a solar power company.
✔️Started an electric car company.
✔️Built a charging network on his own dime....and so on.
The left visceral hatrid began building when those ventures started making money....when he made EVs a viable business.
So they pushed him toward the right, where he has maintained an uncomfortable existance.
In short, they hate him because he succeeded, which makes one wonder whether they truly believed addressing these causes... or if they just wanted something to complain about.
Does this signal of hostility from the new Democrat governor of Texas mean a possible relocation of SpaceX HQ to Louisiana? If Red states keep turning blue, might need to relocate everything to the ultimate Red State (Mars).
Unbelievable. Businesses have flourished and that needs to change according to Democrats. Insanity.
Another Democrat delivering on the destruction of another state's economy. And all because of political hostility.
Exactly 😂
Tesla has no government contracts and President Trump ended federal incentives for electric vehicles.
SpaceX contracts with the government are BOTH the best product AND the lowest price! Moreover government revenue will be less than 10% of SpaceX revenue this quarter and less then 5% a year from now.
Happy to cancel any that the government doesn’t want. Just say the word!

"Real communism has never been tried" is revealing about leftist metaphysics, because it says that the imaginary version is real, while the actually existing one isn't

Jednoduché odborné shrnutí: Trump a MAGA Republikáni byli tak retardovaní, že si sami pohřbili všechno, co jim mohlo hrát do karet.
Teď jsou na řadě Demokraté, aby udělali úplně to samé.

Musk had two options.
Option one was negotiate with Democrats.
Option two was to develop a space program better than the state funded organizations of the rest of the world combined, then use that to launch a distributed compute cluster into earth orbit, solving a myriad of bullshit hard problems like "how do I shed heat in a vacuum" or "what happens if cosmic rays flip bits" and a thousand others even I'm not aware of.
Option two was simpler and easier. By multiple orders of magnitude.
I'm ashamed to share a country with these people.

“AI makes everything too easy.”
Too easy for whom?
The kid who could never afford art school? The small business owner who can’t pay a developer? The person in a country with no good universities?
“Too easy” always means “too easy for people who weren’t supposed to have access.”
Gatekeepers hate it when the gate disappears.

I once again cannot recommend eating Martian regolith.
This does not stop humans visiting or living on Mars due to this thing we call “engineering” in which fixable problems get fixed.

To srovnání je naprosto dokonalý.
AI používá 1.5-2 miliardy lidí.
Pračku mají 2-3 miliardy lidí, zbytek světa pere ručně, protože pračku k životu nepotřebují.
Během pár let bude AI používat víc lidí, než bude mít pračku.

In my opinion, the best way to justify developing megawatt scale nuclear reactors is to first normalize the operation of megawatt scale SEP vehicles, so that a megawatt scale reactor power plants can be a drop-in upgrade rather than a risky moonshot!

This take is not up to your usual standards. Perhaps begin with "SpaceX continues to act rationally, what does that imply about other facts I otherwise lack access to."
SpaceX and NASA have always played extremely hardball with each other, and now, for the first time, SpaceX is in a position where it can say no.
It's not like SpaceX putting more resources into firehosing compute into orbit is somehow contrary to the national interest. Imagine being the doofus holding a flag on the Moon saying "yay we did it, again" while China puts 100 GW of compute into space and then conquers the light cone with its authoritarian dictatorship.

Starship is rumored to be quoting $90M for a Starship launch. If that is a 100t starship that is $900/kg potentially which is a 4x reduction.
That is before reuse.
30x reuse makes SpaceX cost about $150/kg to LEO for commercial cargo. They may still charge $900 but their cost will be $150.
Unused cargo mass can be transferred into fuel tanks and a 50ton cargo could have +45tons fuel and still be 5 tons under the 100t limit. So customer buys $90M launch and SpaceX fills the fuel tanks based on the customer cargo mass (this would need to be written into the contract).
That 45 tons cost about $10/kg to LEO because it is just fuel cost and the added time to pump it in.
So internally at 30x average reuse SpaceX will be able to do to the moon at ~$300/kg if they can store LOX at 90K in LEO to avoid boil off.
There is a MASSIVE cost reduction happening.
You the consumer may not have access to it.
But it is real.

Několikrát jsme zde psali, že se mladým lidem nedivíme, že vypalují Francii (neomlouváme).
Ty grafy jsou strašlivé a stále více budou šířit mezigenerační nenávist a nakonec vyvolají zase nějaké hnutí "mladých" jako fašismus, nacismus či komunismus vedoucí k okradení všech obyvatel.
Není prostě možné, morální ani hummání aby důchodci odčerpávali stále více prostředků státu.
V západní civilizaci vždy platilo, že rodič se měl jen tak dobře, jak dobře vychoval své děti a jak velký majetek a prosperitu jim zanechal.
Dle nás je jediná cesta, nemilá, asi nereálná: ústavně nezměnitelně ukotvit, že na důchody (a sociální služby) půjde přesně dané procento z HDP. To by také mohlo vyřešit část nenávisti, která se šíří v narativu, že strany si zvyšováním důchodů na úkor mladých zajišťují hlasy ve volbách.
To by znamenalo, že důchody budou každý rok jiné, dle toho, jak úspěšná bude ekonomika. Nedaří se? Důchod bude malý. Ekonomika jede? Důchod bude letos příjemný. Důchodci by byli tak také motivováni volit strany, které se začnou zabývat ekonomikou a růstem a nepodléhali by populistickým snahám.

For the first time in history, a person (Elon Musk) has figured out how to make socialists pay for their own shit. Truly, there’s nothing Musk can’t do once he sets his mind to it.

Yes, I'm aware that communists fantasize about seizing and liquidating successful businesses and making everyone poorer.
But that wouldn't change what I'm saying. SpaceX has *already* earned an indelible place in spaceflight history by this point, nothing can change that now.

If you apply the same thinking to childbirth, you'd just sterilize everyone.
Then no one will ever die in childbirth again!
The difference between that and keeping people from never going to space is just the time frame of when humans go extinct.
