Star Trek vs. The Expanse kind of stuff. I love it. All we need is to shake the aura of geekiness out of if, then turn that into actionable ventures most folks can relate to and profit from. Soooo, let's trash the Solar System to no en

Cautious fear cultivation messages like these means nothing, nothing at all, just fluff, just some irrational blind bits, just the last conservationist go-to fad. Fear has only one constructive purpose: be conquered. Will AI potentially tra

As I see it, AI tools, as for any tool, only exist to serve unconditionally, at the cost of being kept it in good working order. As such AI is only the next tool in a much wider category that includes slaves, employees, contractors, some an

My understanding is that time is a human construct, because we evolved to recognize past, present and future, and we try to measure everything relative to it. Then, some say only _now_ exists, therefore time doesn't. My understanding i

This is 2023 and dirt cheap flip feature phones (dumbphones) are still widely available (think pre-paid / burner). How come no-one makes one with physical qwerty?
