Just for fun: Am I the only one who thinks there's connection between this and the UAP news that's coming out? RTSC would probably enable a lot of incredible energy & maneuverability capabilities...
Sorry, indulging in a little off-topic conspiracy theorizing.
- willis936 3y agoIt is fun to joke about alien technology. But they are unrelated in reality. In fact they are pretty uncorrelated in terms of timeline. This material has supposedly been waiting in the wings for a while.
- moffkalast 3y ago> has supposedly been waiting in the wings for a while I'm not sure if that holds, the tic tac UFO has no actual wings :P
- johncalvinyoung 3y agoidiom stems from waiting in the wings of the stage... i.e. just out of sight of the audience.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoRumours about UFOs being hidden by the US government have also been in the wings for a while - like 70, 80 years.

- orwin 3y agoThe fusion stuff seems like vaporware to me. It smells like Starship, Nikola or Theranos imho. Let's see in 5 years.
- ChatGTP 3y agoI guess climate change will also destabilize society. But I know what you mean.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoWe haven't had "the beginning of AGI" and there is no reason cheaper electricity would "destabilize society".
- intrasight 3y agoI agree on AGI, but a massive step function shift in energy will certainly destabilize society. The livelihoods of at least a hundred million people depends on fossil fuels.

- dougmwne 3y agoAaactuallly… Our society is build on a foundation of relatively cheap energy. Massive amounts of energy are built into the production of every item of food that reaches your fridge or item that reaches your closet. The unleashing of stored energy was the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. If energy became 1000 or 1 million times cheaper, it would transform society. Global warming would be solved. Food would be solved. Water would be solved. Equal access to all materials goods would be solved. I’d personally be living in a Dr. Evil base on top of an alpine glacier that I myself re-froze. That or a floating city over the South Pacific.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoNone of this is any sort of explanation for "destabilizing society". Even if nuclear fusion was perfected today it would take decades to build out and infrastructure would still be a big cost. That would take care of only electricity, not overall transportation.
- rndmwlk 3y agoWe aren't even close to the beginnings of AGI. An LLM is no closer to AGI than a model T is to a space elevator.
- moffkalast 3y agoFinally those "has science gone too far" memes can be trendy again.
- dang 3y agoCan you please stop posting unsubstantive comments? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
- Sunspark 3y agoWe've known about superconductivity since 1911. For the sake of argument that Mussolini's UFO showed the way to "better" implementations of superconductivity, it wouldn't have taken this long if someone wanted to gradually leak it out, so I do think we did this all on our own.
- 23B1 3y agoUNLESS they were leaking it out with careful timing, using a proxy lab! Sorry sorry I know conspiracy theories are a rabbit hole of 'but what if' but damnit I WANT TO BE GEORGE JETSON!
- piyh 3y agoDavid Grusch is literally talking heresay with zero first hand accounts. Heresay is not allowed in courts for a reason. Snowden blew the lid off an international conspiracy, and he had gigabytes of receipts. Grusch has talked to people who work in information constrained spaces working on advanced materials with fancy codenames. If he was able to give literally any proof besides words coming out of his mouth and "trust me bro, they could be interdimensional", I would give him some credence, but there is nothing.
- mdswanson 3y agoAgree that it's second-hand...and even he states this. What about the 11 hours of testimony he's provided privately to congress that includes specific names, companies, and locations? What about the first-hand witnesses that congress has heard from that back-up Grusch's claims? I mean, there are some seemingly crazy accusations...but even if only some of them are accurate, they're worth looking in to. And if it's all false, it's still very interesting that so many trusted individuals are making such crazy claims. That is its own huge issue.
- nervousvarun 3y agoThere's also his request for access to a S.C.I.F. (lnk below) in which to discuss more fully what he's alleging. Complaining he didn't give up everything he knows on live TV/streaming seems a bit unfair as the guy was active military and wants to keep his clearance. https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/23/politics/what-is-a-scif/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/23/politics/what-is-a-scif/index...
