Only 1.38mm2, they could fit this tiny thing anywhere. Medical devices spring to mind.

One advantage of having no infrastructure is you can leapfrog old technologies. We’ve seen this with countries that had no copper telephone wires everywhere, they moved straight to cellular technology.

The word of the day is "technofeudalism"

I got that reference!

We already have military planes that go pretty close to that, and missiles go at Mach 20 so we have the technology

Reminds me of R2D2

Reminds me of the grains of rice on a chessboard doubling each square. The end result suprised the king and the time horizons of these things is going to suprise humanity.

These agents use automated feedback to iteratively generate, evaluate, and refine hypotheses, resulting in a self-improving cycle of increasingly high-quality and novel outputs.

So they are going to point this thing at the AI codebase right? Right?

It’s a race to see what kills us first, Climate Change or AI.

My bet is on AI, mostly because the time horizon is a bit closer

There is a tsunami coming and not many people can see it. The worse part, is the people in charge are not the ones to roll out UBI. In fact, they are more likely to remove benefits.

Prof Eliot Jacobson has the decadal increase at 0.32°C/Decade, which given we are at 1.5°C now means ~2.5°C around 2050 and ~4°C by 2100

However, he also thinks the trend isn't linear and is quadratic, meaning an increasing rate of change, so that 4°C could be low
