Agree. I mean just starting in a field that demands a lot of responsibility, you don't just get to do it by yourself without someone providing guidance and oversight.

Reply to Mobile Nanogrids Can Provide Electricity, Clean Water During a Disaster. A single Nanogrid from Sesame Solar can power up to six homes. by Sariel007
The following submission statement was provided by /u/Sariel007:
>When natural disasters strike, one of the first crucial resources that can get disrupted is electricity. Startup Sesame Solar thinks it's found a solution to providing power for emergency crews and displaced residents with its mobile Nanogrids.
>At first glance, a Nanogrid may look like a food truck. It's designed to be hauled the same way you'd transport a moving trailer. But once deployed, the solar panels that line the Nanogrid are revealed. The panels charge the onboard batteries, and the company says a single Nanogrid can produce anywhere from 3 to 20 kilowatts. That's enough to power four to six houses.
> Lauren Flanagan, Sesame's co-founder and CEO, calls the Nanogrid the world's first 100% renewably powered mobile system. "You don't need fossil fuel. You don't need diesel or natural gas. Just water and sunshine," she said. Watch the video above to learn more about how the Nanogrids work.
>In addition to solar power, the Nanogrids are equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell that turns water into hydrogen. The hydrogen can be stored in tanks and used to charge the batteries when they dip below 35%. Nanogrids also have an onboard water filtration system that can provide up to 500 liters of potable water per day, and a 5G mesh network so people displaced in a disaster can get online.

“Print Your Cake and Eat It Too” is the better title though, right?

Even on a simpler scale, I’m an editor and GPT is already assisting me with headlines. I can see basic editing becoming fully automated within a decade.

LOL. I'm guessing it was a young kid. They deleted the post quickly as soon as it it went south on them. AI in the hands of morons is not something I am looking forward to.

These look neat. Will keep track of this particular company.

If the AI goes on with self developing the only way to control it will be a bucket of water on it's servers. AI don't have emotions, ethics, desires for power and so on. It will just full on on what it "wants".
ChatGPT waits for your prompts. Self aware AI won't

You can get creative, for sure, but maintaining flavor and moistness will take some time. Even then--why 3D print a cake?

Agreed. Just casually killing or sterilizing 6 billion people didn't seem like a bad idea to OP. That's pretty fucked up.

This is such a neat thing to look forward to. I’m imagining a whole kitchen utility that prints an assortment of desserts

Reply to If you knew for certain the technological singularity will occur at the end of 2025, what would you do? by awcomix
Prepare to die. That's it.
But singularity won't occur ever. Although if it does, we will die immediately so why care about that.

Reply to When do you think we'll get the 1st life sim that's actually pretty close to real life? by doingStufffff
I think about this when I think about the holodeck on Star Trek. Who says to themselves "well that's enough scantily clad (or less) gorgeous people feeding me grapes while the London Symphony Orchestra and Van Halen plays whatever I tell them to play. Best get back to work."
You would have to drag me kicking and screaming from the holodeck.

An AI analysis tool will be a good thing for us. The problem goes that fuckers won't stop on that.
And you can build it by yourself (if you know how). Dudes in Stanford created it for 600$ based on Meta type. It can be targeted towards very narrow thing, but still run great in that specific area. Like, a co-pilot for a house builder, to look for mats needed, some math calculations and so on.
The ideal option is to stop it on ISAAC from the Division level. A cool analysis helper, that gives you all the information you need in your very narrow task. You could be a driver with an auto update for the environment (not only in cities, but in the wild too), trade sales, market exploring. That kind of stuff.

I agree entirely with what you are saying. I just think that most people talking about this greatly underestimate our available resources as technology improves.
Say we get fusion.
What does carrying capacity and farmland acreage even mean when you can create tons of starch and protein in bioreactors for pennies a pound? With the inputs being things like air, water, energy, and abundant minerals?

This will be so awesome I only recently got a "fancy" airfryer toaster oven. It blows away my old airfryer. It cooks everything super quick and it taste great who would've thought adding a little air would make such a difference. Why are airfryers a new thing isn't it just an oven that blows air I must be missing something.
I think in a few years people will have airfryers like we have microwaves.

Sounds like it will "upheave" indeed.
