We could have made work optional some time during the last century. The only reason we haven’t yet is people like him.

Tax shareholders 100%. No more shareholders.

Also WHY would we want robots to do the work for us ? The problem is generally the working conditions, not the mere fact people have to do it.

I would have personally approved of a trillion dollar project to make sure this plan DOES NOT happen.

But he’s going to steal all the money anyway, and use it to escape to Mars, only to die on the launch pad when the rocket predictably explodes…

Nowadays I’m even starting to find it annoying on a browser with adblock, but without NoScript ! Quite a bit of nonsense disappears when you take the few seconds to only enable the scripts a page actually needs

Also, YouTube specifically is a horrible experience without an extension like UnTrap to turn like 75% of the buttons off.

We really need to teach everyone to use ad blockers. Ads have not existed on “my” internet since the 2000s…

We are not in a simulation. A particle is only able to hold exactly as much information as is necessary to describe it, and hence is irreducible.

Any incomplete simulation, even to a tiny degree, leads to wildly inconsistent, and eventually incoherent conclusions.

Either our universe is a simplified, and thus unreliable, simulation, destroying any long term usefulness to would-be simulators ; or it is simply not a simulation at all.

This sounds an awful lot like idolatry to me, which is supposedly forbidden in Christianity.
