Then you go through Greece into Turkey to where ever you want to go. It is not that difficult to travel in and out of a the EU without passports.It is just inconvenient.
You don't need magic to make it near impossible to replicate or duplicate. One big issue is what parts of the physics are needed. We don't know. Everything else is speculation. Of course *simulation* of self, and agency seems quite possible without even requiring strong AI. And if you can't distinguish between "true self" and simulated self? Should you? Yes i know its an old argument. But so many people seem to think this is a new thing.
However the main argument seems to be this "singularity" bullshit. Do you even need strong AI for self improvement? Does a genetic algorithm plugged into a replicator thingy count?
But really it is a storm in a tea cup, we have much bigger fish to fry right now.
You do know that we can't really model much in the way of nervous systems, like complicated things like brains, at all right. As in we don't know how brains, even small ones work properly yet. And no, even the fruitfly one cuts corners. Lots of em it turns out. Are they important corners? well in *this* case we suspect not. Not the same as in higher organisms.
No they didn't. Where the hell does this shit come from. all the computers in the world would start to get close to a rat brain complexity... Start to, not actually there. If we even had a complete model of a rat brain, which we don't.
We had all this hype about AI being around the corner decades ago. Now it is re branded as strong AI. Trust me, it is not nearly as close as they claim. I have a few friends in the blue brain project and other in AI fields. Strong AI is no closer today than decades ago. We have no idea how to make it. People guess, but guessing doesn't work.
LEO orbits below 1000km do not have long life times. Without fuel it is more like a few years. ISS does have a lot of drag but it also has a lot of mass. Most LEO sats use solar so they tend to be in the high drag range as well.
What the hell is wrong with walking around outside? What is so dam dangerous that walking around at 30? 20? or 16 years of age makes you any safer that say 10 and 6. I
In one of my classes for 6th semester students at a university, we needed them to convert the format of files. Over half the class changed the file name suffix and had no idea why that didn't work!
Yea the "younger generation grew up with computers" is total rubbish. They know how to put a dvd or bluray into a xbox or something. But when it comes to using computers and technology as the tools they are, they have no idea.
I was smart enough to figure what answer the teacher wanted, did that and had plenty of free time to do what i wanted. Guess your not as smart as you think you are.
My great great great grandfather use to hate coming home and getting entertained by these new fangled technology things. Seems way more work than its worth, like this pong video game. Why would anyone want that?
Yea like we all are the same and the *only* time we ever do anything is after work. Now get off my lawn you old geezer. I want the kids to play on it.
Little late to this party. But bitrorrent is *not* pirate bay. I notice nothing about my torrent access with pirate online or offline or anything. And where i am the ISPs actively advertise that they don't interfere with torrents as a feature. The world is not the US.
And well it doesn't matter what the providers want to sell their content for. It is already available for about the cost of an internet connection. That is the price the market will bear.
If your money is on solar etc.. then you really need your money in power storage. Either massive "cheap" batteries (liquid metal batteries) or something. Pump storage is not a solution to the general problem.
Thorium reactors give no real advantage over reprocessing U fuel cycles. It is the same waste. They are a long way off, even if you started today, and have a lot of critical design aspects that are completely untested and unproven.

I believe this is also the time value of money. Liquidity is also an important consideration.
More useful metals like platinum and copper are also ideas. But storage volume can get you on the cheaper stuff.
Unfortunately since objective media doesn't exist anymore...
Don't kid yourself. It never did. Just read some of the BS reports during WWII, and then check what we now believe to be true.

Yes, we make tools to improve out effective abilities, that then can be used to make better tools......

Not even orders of magnitude close i am afraid. Only a nematode has been done with anything like the fidelity of the real thing.

The is this really cool invention we had way back before it wasn't cool to let kids play on your lawn. It is called don't fucking click the link.
well our bus stop was 7km away. And there was a lot of broken glass, and of course bare feet and snow and stuff.
On a more seruous note. The city must be very safe if the police don't have anything better to do than be a Chief Wiggum level dumb arse.
Whoosh.
Because if you don't want it, no one else will? Don't be an idiot. Let the younger more interesting people play.

Spot the patent attorney. "Patents are working!". Yea right. Oh it really isn't obvious? Only if your a fucking lawyer.

Providing BI may well save money from the massive cost welfare system incurs to determined who should be getting anything.
mdsolar is that you...
Doesn't change the fact that they are quite impossible. Interatomic bonds are simply not strong enough by many many orders of magnitude.
