To be fair, among the first questions interested people would ask about something like this are, "what can we use it for?" and "will it scale?"

Interested people being investors I guess?

My reaction is more, how does this work, what is it about mushrooms and mycelial networks, and sure, what is possible - but not, how soon can I monetize this

"what can we use it for?" I'd understand why someone would ask. Maybe not specifically in this case, as it's outlined in the abstract and paper itself, but I generally understand that.

"will it scale?" I'm not so understanding of, for a submission about early research, it's one of the less interesting questions about it, and something you figure out much much later, and wouldn't invalidate these results no matter what the answer to that question is.

Can I eat it? Can I fuck it? Will it eat me? Will it fuck me?

I found that book before ever reading any Kerouac, and it indeed put me off.

Of possible interest to the "ramen profitable" set, there's a part in the book where she had no money and had heard you could live on just cabbage and peanut butter, so she does that for a month.

"must have"

The article doesn't mention what percentage had alcohol, with and without THC. Why not?

From Vinge's "Rainbow's End":

> In fact this business was the ultimate in deconstruction: First one and then the other would pull books off the racks and toss them into the shredder's maw. The maintenance labels made calm phrases of the horror: The raging maw was a "NaviCloud custom debinder." The fabric tunnel that stretched out behind it was a "camera tunnel...." The shredded fragments of books and magazine flew down the tunnel like leaves in tornado, twisting and tumbling. The inside of the fabric was stitched with thousands of tiny cameras. The shreds were being photographed again and again, from every angle and orientation, till finally the torn leaves dropped into a bin just in front of Robert. Rescued data. BRRRRAP! The monster advanced another foot into the stacks, leaving another foot of empty shelves behind it.

Yes, I was thinking of this passage as well. The technology does not seem to have advanced to this particular point yet.

In what specific way do you disagree with them?

The support for eugenics and ethnic cleansing, the absolute obsession with strictly utilitarian ethics and ignorance of other ethics, the "kill a bunch of humans now so that trillions can live in the future" longtermist death cult, and the whole Roko's basilisk worship that usually goes like "one AI system can take over the entirety of humanity and start eating the galaxy, therefore we must forcefully jump in the driver seat of that dangerous AI right now so that our elite ideology is locked in for a trillion years of galactic evolution".

And that's just the user experience! For developers:

- multiple heap allocators

- have to install runtimes, even for C

- all useful permissions are off by default

- entire GUI is permeated by "Not Invented Here" mistakes

- msi is opaque and crusty

per se

"for you" means you want the algorithm to decide for you. Use "Following" instead.

I tried TikTok and never saw much political content at all. The algorithm gave me little dances and bad cooking. I finally got it to ditch the bad cooking and show me some interesting pseudo 70s horror AI videos. But then things kept repeating and I bailed.

How did you manage to get Chinese propaganda?

Just keep using the app. It wasn’t at the beginning.

I used it for like two weeks.
