Thats the thing that truly pisses me off about the US govt right now.

Ok, China is doing all these things and we’re losing our advantage? Do what we did during the space race and pump cash into innovation, science, and research.

But noooo we do the polar opposite and also drive scientists out of the country because they can get funding elsewhere.

Here’s the thing: it IS a superintelligence. It saw what it was going to be used for and the idiots that were presenting it and decided that it was going to sabotage them.

Sitting on some Wintermute level of fuckery.

But not China!!!

My wife and I had our son via IVF. We wanted every single one of our fertilized eggs to work, but they didn’t. We had one that did and we suffered every time one didn’t.

Oh yeah, the apartheid emerald mining is never out of my mind when I think of this asshat.

“No, of course it’s a joke about them sleeping on the floor. We will provide Tesla-branded housing onsite, and with the added convenience of the Tesla store and the workers being paid in Teslabux to pay me back for the room and board, they’ll always be ready to do my bidding.”

They’re going to build it in 2026 but it’ll still somehow be running on XP.
