Yeah, if these turn out to be feasible and healthy, we could potentially produce at least an order of magnitude more food with a fraction of the climate impact. Mycoproteins are already quite widely available as meat substitutes and are cultivated in vats. I don't know what's the consensus on health impact though, presumably it can't be too bad

This is an amazing achievement. It would be interesting to see if this yeast protein can be used to feed humans directly as well, that would be even better

If this one doesn't self-censor on political topics, they should call it MiniMarx

I think even libs can't say you're being unreasonable if you give them these reasons why you shouldn't care about the alleged spying, at least not without slowly painting themselves in a corner as sinophobes. I genuinely can't imagine what unhinged reply they'd come up with if you tell them "Western companies also spy on you, and you live in the West, not in China". But I'm sure they'll find something

Meanwhile western robots enhancing efficiency in other areas

I admit I didn't expect you to go into the specifics of it but this is some next level shit that never crossed my mind!

Tbh I'd chicken out trying to do that now, but I've definitely been in a few jobs where it felt like I could get away with it. Makes me miss even more the days when you could easily work fully remotely. Maybe one day...

Interesting. I need to learn more about this from this friend of yours, for academic reasons

Maybe a few will develop class consciousness.

Most of these types I interact with are blaming the poor or some specific government "bad apples". A few do seem to almost "get it", but still have way too many liberal brainworms and draw some milquetoast or outright reactionary conclusions

It's an uphill battle trying to instill any sort of class consciousness in these people, as expected due to their material conditions

This has been 100% my experience as well. Most of the really good coders I've met are the types that also do it as a hobby outside work and also are reactionary/turbolib empire bootlickers. Literally regurgitating MSM slop and thinking they understand societal problems because they've read an op-ed in Bloomberg about why we need AI to fix the economy rather or something like that.

I think it comes from them spending so much time on that one thing that they just kind of dont even put any brain power towards politics or the state of the world

I'd also add to that the fact that this one thing they focus on has often been put on a pedestal (like coding for instance), which gets to many of them and makes them overestimate their abilities in other areas ("society says coders are smart, I'm a coder, I make good money, maybe I really am better than others, even at other things too" - an attitude I've encountered quite a few times).

Yeah, we need to stop doing that. I'm so sick of coders that act like they're big brain geniuses because society put their profession on a pedestal for the last decade or so

I guess that's the impact in Genshin Impact
