The Minsky Moment

I believe there are several Colonels named Albert or Alphonse etc. who may be up for promotion in the next 10 years.

So I vote General Al.

  • Tesla full self-driving delivering on all the things Musk says (safer than human drivers, faster than human drivers, robo-taxi funtcionality.
  • Cold fusion.
  • General AI.

All of them seem to be perpetually "just a few years away".

I thought "hot fusion", which still seems decades away, was far more likely than cold fusion which is still scientifically dubious?

Unlike AGI and controlled fusion, there are self-driving cars. Just not from Tesla.

The Nazis were, indeed, keen on building rockets and missiles. They developed the first mass-produced versions of both.

Elon was using the dm feature asking women if they wanted to be impregnated...

This is one more thing you might want to teach your kids in tne modern world.  If they're boys, wrong pick up line.  if they're girls, do not accept impregnation offer from weird billionaires online.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.
