The easy part being the "get out of the way" for a full game core. Gamedevs almost always prefer "bare" metal, with free choice of librarys and structures. If there was no OS beyond the bootloop, cheerio..

Also need to hire a drunk, old ex-pat and put him in a suit.

I think a happier person produces, does not consume. So a ideal algorithm would be shoving the user towards being productive, creative. To accomplish that, the feed would have to redirected to people who "educate" people to become creators.

Take that nice little austrian post-card creator living in bavaria i follow on twitter. Every now and then a political rant, but nothing.. oh No... oh No No No..

Its another social control tool. Get near protests and your covid code gets red. Problem is, it works like a chain reaction, galvanizing protests. Paranoia killed the beast.

Old school math teachers are basically drill seargants, teaching you to use a hammer for one nail type of problem, right swing technique, and never to question the other ideas concerning the hammer.

Urge to travel with corona intensifies.

Its all just thesis, nothing is proven yet.

Syphillis makes you artistically brilliant, gondi makes you fearless, never felt so good, then just before exitus.

So, in conclusion, if the vector has requirements, the infection will try to make the host capable of fullfilment.

If the infection needs sugar, the mitochondria, will make the amobea crawl to algea.

It really is the appeareance of exponential curves in any field. Biology, physics, comp science, as soon as the curve appears, it amplifies the nature of those who wield it.

Comp science is obvious. Physics is similiar - if you have a working fusion device (ripped from a flying car) or any other device with exponential energy density, it amplifies the problems you can solve and cause.

Biology is harder to grasp, no not really after covid. But in theory one day not far away somebody might take a backyard shed and cook something up, which is not even a disease that has "exponential" castrophe written all over it. Imagine a floating Lema https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemna, blue, bio engineered to harvest carbon, all good intentions, wrapped around a bubble of methan for buyoncy. Such a plant, engineered by anyone, could block out the sun.

Imagine a terrorist cell, which has no leader, no members, no financiers but is able to attack anyway.

A DAO hires gig workers to assemble a "product" in a property which it has rented, the product is then programed by the DAO to attack the city it resides in. The DAO having speculated on shares of competitors of companies within the city, moves ever onwards. Terrorism as a software glider gun.

Its a major theme in my game, any exponential tech advances handed to citizens, become a minority vote mechanism on society. The implications being, that freedom and exponential toys bump into a hard roof, were any clever crank can empty exponential weapons down the hallway. But society as we know it also can not continue without exponentials tapped. A rock and a hard place.

I wouldnt invest in amazon, they are just another embarassing part of the .com bubble and will go under any minute now.

Remember when bumpmaps and specular were the thing and all things in games looked like actionfigures for one release cycle?

There certainly is a fascination with strong, reproduceable emotional reactions in some autistic cases though. They also seem to be fascinated by certain emotional reactions, that make no sense to them.

They do understand that they hurt people, but the fascination of finding something adhering to rules, is stronger.

@Scandinavian: Relatives of mine. One in particular, enjoys trolling me, and i sincerley hope its limited to me. Others might not understand the sense of humor, and it particular, the endless "reproduce" joke and reaction sequence.

There is a german book, "the last of his kind" bei Andreas Eschenbach, that seems strangely relevant, its about a cyborg living out its last days in ireland. Its one of those little masterpieces of scifi in my opinion, that never make a splash. Its very humane, i especially love the part were he starts to compare himself to a old soda dispenser machine, in "need of a good whack to reboot". If you are mechanical, turning it off and on again, gets a totally new meaning.

also loved the stoic philosophy.

Yeah, kept china, japan, south-korea and Hong Kong down. 3 generations later, they still suffer. The atrocities were real, the explanation power for current day missery diminishes rapidly.

My prefered theory is that human capital stays valuable even through crisis and that it pays of to be the direct cold conflict zone for two super powers, who then prop you up.

I blame hacker culture, were to gain with little input effort, aka a parasitic existence is cherished. Its prevalent in lots of places now, including the financial sector, were leveraging is more important then long term investment. The good thing though is, its self destructive, and the resulting riots will know who they want to take it out on.

Its going to be fascinating in the next months. As the giants all release huge number of surplus personal, the need to justify research programs rises. So we are going to see some huge "my department is important" gazelle jumps, while the lions are on the prowl?

Be aware of the dangers that cortison can do to your bones though. Defeat asthma today, wrestle with a half disolved spine tomorrow..

Patens need a exponential tax, so its only worth to cling to those worthy. First year is free, 2nd year is 1000 $, third year 1000 ^ 2$, etc.

Research Endavours that do not bring in the money have to be funded and spearheaded by government programs (as they often are already).

So i get it the shareholder dividend is zero this year. Dont be medieval.

Singapore approach, basically arcology with a local state alliance to protect a comon border?

Jared Diomands: Collapse comes to mind, were island nations that overpopulated were taken down by a crisis of dependency.

They will try to migrate northwards - right into hostile neighbours (china or pakistan), which will escalate into conflict. Regional nuclear exchange.

I actually think NN dreaming up movies, depending on noise, the realtime reactions and the heroes journey will be the future. Just add a consistency layer on top (keep same face on the cast and name-consistent(place, enemy, protagonists, mc guffins) , the rest can be made up).

NN generated art convinced me that the death of hollywood is just around the corner.

I too agree, piracy is the only valid approach against media-mononopolies.

Its something that works in the cloud on a server. Its a cloudcomponentprocessor. Thats exactly what it is, what it does and absolutly context free.

Descriptive alone does not cut it.

Bonsupoints if your software throws errors, that throw customers. "I want to book a flight to NY, but it keeps saying Venice:DB is full"

The basic assumption of history being made by decision makers is wrong. Such history is made - under good circumstances, yes. If a surplus exists and no internal oppossition rears its head, due to economic stress.

As soon as the economic limits of a system are reached though, leaders are just as the population under the influence of the "physics of the situation". Which is shaped by human instincts, retardations reacting to a percieved "world turned hostile". Meaning, as soon as things go bad, the decision space is very harshly restricted and the consequences are often very much out of control for those in power deciding.

If humanity were a vessel, as soon as storm draws closer, the steering wheel breaks.

Imagine lifing on such a world. Ice plates are the only spot to create long lasting structures. Iron is more worth then gold. Meteorites create food frenzies and scavanger hunts. Electrolysis of metals from water is the only way to create a industrial base.

So its a droplet, were a small moony core tumbles around in the crushing depths?
