Stop complaining about usage, from crypto to AI, they all have relevant uses to push the world forward.

Think about how to increase quality of life and output, the companies will automatically increase efficiency to increase profits and reduce costs.

Since hubble said space is expanding, that means there will always be more room for entropy to increase. We will not have a heat death. Rather we are heading towards isolation and solitary confinement. I wonder if ET is behind this

Do you think there is always a positive relationship between production/consumption and quality of life? It seems to me this statement confuses what we should be ultimately optimizing for.
