3seashells··on It'd Be Nice to Live in Less of a Gerontocracy
It's a demographic wave having auto rule in a democracy sweeping a social graph into power again and again. What is it with some people becoming minstrel bards to any fool in power to the point they do not even start to analyze.
3seashells··on Toyota gigacasting prototype cuts production from hours to minutes
I don't really understand the hours argument. Every step takes at Max one cycle, once the line is running and all stations saturated, it's one car per cycle. Reduced complexity? Yes. Less flaws? Certainly. Less production costs. Absolutely. But time saved in a sequence of small tasks seems to be a bad metric.

Persistent Visual cortex defects. Now imagine the brain riddled with similar defects, when it's comes to reasoning and learning. If there was one creature not defect, the whole rest of the zoo would be sad.

3seashells··on Sci-Fi Short Film “Slaughterbots” [video] (2017)
The problem is that every tech acceleration produces the possibility of such a arms creation beconing common place. The final stage being a space born species that flings rocks at each other's habitats across a solar system. At some point you goto get this out of the nature of a species, before you can progress. Methods include social implants (like cellphones), synthetic religions with taboos, etc. The alternative is running headfirst into a great filter build out of wild tech acceleration and a completely tribalist, stagnant individual (the flaws barely hidden by over- supply bribery).

TL, dr: tech as a permanent fix for evolutionary left behind problems is not viable. Kicking the can down the road produces ever more high stakes failure scenarios,but no permanent stability as created by self alterations.
