  getting deeper and deeper. the question is what goes one when breaches reach opensource-based stuff running nuclear reactors. i'd be concerned.
  • trumpdong 4mo ago
    People say nuclear reactors are completely safe if properly constructed and operated and the waste danger is overblown if properly managed. There aren't many institutions extant today that I could trust to properly construct and operate a nuclear reactor, never mind manage nuclear waste for the next 100000 years. The Trump government just decided that there is an acceptable level to irradiate the population by the way (abandoned the linear-no-threshold model of radiation's effects on an organism)

  We are ever-faster approaching the Anti Singularity, the moment when everything "tech" implodes and progress screeches to a halt.

    What if this is "The Great Filter?" [Ominous music plays in the background]

      We've got a few candidates for that on the go and this is for sure one of them.

        It's not like they're mutually exclusive. In fact, multiple candidates seem to be quite sympathetic in their feedback loops.

      That would be when we've automated stuff to the point where [machinery breaking down] causes a large majority of humans to die from starvation. And then go on to repeat that mistake by re-building without using the lessons from previous catastrophe(s). Sadly that last part sounds fairly common for humans... 8-| So yeah. Maybe. Possible.

        We're already there since without the Haber–Bosch process billions would starve.
