Hell No!

I’d be supervising and playing with my children and grandchildren, gardening, reading, reading Instagram poasts of people exploring the galaxy. Watching Anton Petrov’s daily science YouTube. Lots of road trips.

The minds and robots will occasionally want to play and run focus groups.

Fantastic!

Less brutalism and more classicism.

Re:U.S. may have overthrown Venezuela due to chat with Grok on Saturday October 03, 2026 @06:54AM (#49943092)
The US kidnapped its socialist dictator, leaving the regime otherwise intact. Hardly an “overthrow.”
After Bernie’s Bros have run out of other’s money, they’ll run out of other country’s gold.

Yes, there are no solutions, only trade offs.

I believe procreation is the highest impact a human can achieve.

The result of 14 billion years of cosmic evolution, a thermodynamic miracle, the waking universe looking back on itself.

Imagine what we can achieve when robots can do the laundry and dishes.

Get back to us when Canada cuts its 300% tariff on butter.
Rather he was fired because his research was irrelevant.

In any case there are millions of US activists that will advise you about anthropogenic global warming for free, just ask them.

AI and robots don’t refute the Socialist Calculation Debate.

Get back to us with your proposal to genetically modify human nature.

Hopefully by then we’ll still be allowed to vote it down.

Published in the paywalled NYT.

“Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper [NYT] that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.” - Bari Weiss

It all sounds too hard, just send the robots to build ringworlds at habitable distances.

Fantastic! This will tie up the hapless far-left democrats chasing their tails, squandering their donors money, advancing their Marxist capture, rendering them unelectable.
I suspect deploying AGI in US agriculture is more of an existential crisis for tin pot socialist kleptocracies that rely on remittances from exported labour.
Surely all the illegal Nicaraguans will want to go home now.
I only ever believed half of what my childhood friends told me back in the 60’s and I knew them personally.

The Marxist-Trotskyist Labor government aren’t protecting children, they’re implementing their proposed “Press Council” by stealth. They’ve recently started funding only the Woke Love Media that’s running out of subscribers.

The same bureaucrats that claimed they’re not implementing demographic replacement.

If AI is used to solve the socialist calculation problem, most of you will die.

If AI is subject to private ownership in a competitive market between competing suppliers, it will be like better cars, we’ll just drive faster.

Power consumption will be a limiting factor in those countries relying on intermittent, weather dependent power generation with no base load. Especially if users prefer Apple’s privacy first AI on edge devices.

Hopefully in western countries it can encourage more young women to bear three children before they turn 35. Young men have to pick up their game and create an environment to redirect their suicidal empathy into more productive pursuits.

If you don’t want your landscape vandalised with windmills and powerlines, go nuclear. Especially where the weather is consistently miserable, not conducive to solar power.

The Gramsican march through the institutions is complete. 300 million fully armed and trained Americans are the only thing holding back international socialism. The global 7% can be taken out in seconds by a couple of dozen CCP neutron bombs. Socialism’s 100 million body count last century was just the start.

It won’t affect me, I’ll be dead in 30 years. I won the lottery of life, born in the latter half of the 20th century in a British colony with running hot water.

“Engagement with China is impossible because it is a Stalinist one party state under a fiercely ideological Marxist Leninist dictatorship that preaches Chinese racial supremacy over other nations. It will always pose a threat to world peace until the regime eventually falls.” - Drew Pavlou
They’re already taxed to fund pure research, it would be unfair to charge royalties for non-rivalrous products they can’t monetise.
No, EU regulations banning Airconditioning killed around 20,000 people.

Some idiot in Germany posted a photo of emergency nurses wearing chill vests, presumably taken out of a hospital freezer, as an alternative to installing Airconditioners. Freezers ARE ‘aircondioners’!

Even Australia’s Marxist-Trotskyist PM wouldn’t tempt ‘Killing Granny For Climate” internet memes.

Excellent idea, stop funding science with taxpayer’s money!

If you want to support your favourite science, get your wallet out.

While the IRGC works out how to eliminate Jews from the planet.

“First they come for the Saturday people”

Not forced. It was inevitable consequence of EU Commission policy.
“Marxist IRGC breaks cease fire because Israel is preventing its Hezbollah proxy from murdering more Jewish children.”

FIFY

Links to paywalled legacy media certainly does.

Like on HN; I don’t bother to click on NYTimes, Gruaniad, etc…

Yes, 50% of youth are competing in the employment market, not raising the next generation of children.
