A place to discuss the ideas, developments, and technology that can and will shape the future of civilization.
Tenets:
(1) Concepts are often better treated in isolation -- eg: "what if energy became near zero cost?"
(2) Consider the law of unintended consequences -- eg: "if this happens, then these other systems fail"
(3) Pseudoscience and speculative physics are not welcome. Keep it grounded in reality.
(4) We are here to explore the parameter spaces of the future -- these includes political system changes that advances may trigger. Keep political discussions abstract and not about current affairs.
(5) No pumping of vapourware -- eg: battery tech announcements.

Friendly reminder AI is just regurgitating information, not creating it or verifying it. It could happily tell you how to murder based on 14 posts other people have written about murder - none of whom know what the fuck they're talking about, so neither will the AI.
I am very unafraid.
Do you ever have the existential crisis where you wonder if your own brain is just doing the same thing? Maybe none of your thoughts are original and are just recombinations? What if the spark of consciousness is just a delusion?
Shhh, a delusions is only comfortable when you are ignorant
