List of all figures in AR6:

• There are multiple opportunities for scaling up climate action. SPM.7
• There is a rapidly narrowing window of opportunity to enable climate resilient development. SPM.6
• Limiting warming to 1.5°C and 2°C involves rapid, deep, and in most cases immediate greenhouse gas emission reductions. SPM.5
• Risks are increasing with every increment of warming. SPM.4
• Future climate change is projected to increase the severity of impacts across natural and human systems and will increase regional differences. SPM.3
• With every increment of global warming, regional changes in mean climate and extremes become more widespread and pronounced. SPM.2
• Adverse impacts from human-caused climate change will continue to intensify. SPM.1

The fact that it is vegan means it isn't cheese. The fact that it isn't cheese means it isn't a cheesecake

We will all have a 3d printer vending machine in our apartments, sort of like in Cyberpunk.

Two moons of Uranus. They don’t even try to word differently anymore.

Printed Vegan "cheesecake" sounds horrific

Total liberation- which will be the apex of human existence.

This is far in the future after we deal with all the messy transitions. But the way I see it, we work to live and not the other way around. And so when we can live freely without the need to work, we will become free to exist fully.

When some of us were less burdened by physical labor, those few thought about higher things like gravity, relativity, electricity, poetry, philosophy, etc. I don't think the minds of Kant and Kepler could have the opportunity to achieve what they did if they were too busy breaking their backs farming fields from dawn till dusk every single day. And I don't think there is something genetically special about Plato and Descartes. I think if more people 'got comfortable' then we will see more of the human genius shine. This is shown in how many have amazing talents and insights today compared to past generations.

I see that in pets, and in animals in the zoo. The tricks they do is because they got comfortable. So we started to see what they can really do. Who would have thought that a seal can balance a ball on its nose? Or that a parrot could mimic talking? Or how smart pigs are? But in the wild, they are too busy trying to survive.

About meaning: meaning is given. And even with full automation, if someone wants to work, they can. The good thing is that no one is forced to work. How many today dislike their jobs? Look at the popular joke of what is the first thing you'd do if you win the lotter? A very popular answer is "quit my job with a bang!" (as in make a scene of quitting). The amusement in that means there is some truth behind that.

In that future scenario, you don't have to do woodwork or paint in a very specific way to meet a specific deadline to be paid a certain amount to then live your life a little then repeat the cycle. You can just do woodwork or paint unconstrained. How many architects in the world today have a pet project that they can never build because no one will pay them to do it?

The best thing about such a far future scenario is options, options, options. You can do anything while not be forced to do anything. For me, that would be contemplating humanity and thinking about the far edges of the universe. To others, it may be entertainment all day long. Whatever it is, it is total freedom of the mind unshackled by the burden of survival.

Or I may have completely misunderstood your question.

Pype AutoSpecs is an early example of how this might be applied: https://pype.io/autospecs/

IMHO one of, if not the best thing which could happen to humanity is for us to not be reliant on "work" to survive, and to stop glamorizing or sanctifying "work" as some end all be all state which defines your value as a human.

True contribution to society would be more along the lines of what we put out into the world and what we then have the freedom to build for ourselves, minus the requirement to be toiling 7 days a week for the chance at meager earnings to survive.

That of course ushers in a situation where the de-facto financially based class system disappears - and I am not sure those in high status are going to be willing to let that go, but it would probably mean the value of money and the NEED for money to go away as well.

no, its the flying thorium or mini or 4 generation plants that was proven safe by jesus all those years ago hitting it with stones and eating it, totally green and almost free because those grow wild everywere and the newer ones can be made of paper mache in a day

nuclears don't need safety regulations it's the fault of all those wind hippies, trust me

just give me 30 billion and i'll show you one.....hey don't rush me, i say i will....one of these days, til them there is petrol left to burn

It’s cake, which is processed, and cheese, which is also already processed, the fact it’s vegan makes no difference at all except being more ethical and environmentally friendly.

This has got plusses and minuses. It's good to see more money poured in to AI development, but in this case it was because of sanctions, and the world economy becoming split is detrimental to ordinary people. The sanctions may cause money to be wasted on redundant R&D that reduplicates effort elsewhere. Still, I bet Huawei made some great progress with their $24 billion.

I was honestly looking for a Uranus joke, but since Nestle is shit I think it will suffice.

Headline missed an opportunity to say have your cake a print it to. Are writers just getting lazy these days?

I hate this saying. Why would anyone get a cake without the intention of eating it? If I have a cake of course I want to eat it to.

I used MIT's climate policy simulator to order its climate policies from least impactful to most impactful. You can see the results here.

Can I print the cancer pills I’ll need after eating printer food?

you forgot the /s

The following submission statement was provided by /u/OpenlyFallible:

Submisson statement - The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) poses a range of dangers that require attention. One significant danger is that AI systems may perpetuate or even amplify biases and prejudices that exist in society, leading to discriminatory outcomes. Another risk is the potential loss of jobs as AI systems become increasingly capable of performing tasks previously performed by humans. Additionally, there is a risk of accidents or errors caused by the complexity of AI systems, which could lead to catastrophic consequences. Finally, the deployment of autonomous weapons systems using AI could lead to unpredictable and uncontrollable behavior with potentially devastating effects. These risks highlight the need for careful consideration of the development and deployment of AI systems, including ethical and regulatory frameworks to minimize the risks and ensure their responsible use.

So work is the only thing that gives you meaning? Why not try enjoying life a little, there is so much to do. Create, enjoy, have fun!
