“Why are things they way they are?” is probably a good question to ask before “how should things be?” and certainly before “how should we change things?”.
And the “why” can’t be a value judgement. It must be a descriptive statement outlining the causal path to the present.
Two years ago, I commissioned an art piece: A Fork in the Road.
Had to make sure that civilization took the path most likely to pass the Fermi Great Filters.
Yes. That will happen on either the 2nd or 3rd Earth-Mars launch window, so roughly 5 to 7 years from now.
The key question is whether Earth’s current civilizational technology level will last long enough to ensure that Mars can grow by itself, even if supply ships from Earth stop coming. Otherwise, Mars will die out.
We must do whatever it takes to strengthen civilization to keep that window of opportunity open as long as possible.
The 3 techs we were missing to reach the sci-fi future with robots, drones, and exoskeletons:
-Miniaturized electronics
-High power density batteries
-Computer vision/non programmatic decision making
All of which are solved now, we’re finally getting the cool future.
“We are thrilled to announce ...”
No you’re not. It’s a routine business announcement.
Every time you lie like this, the world becomes a little bit worse.
I downloaded a PDF with over 5,000 pages that was only 67 MB.
Had to double check that. Is the file really that big (if you printed it out) and really that small (on disk)?
The file is mostly text. It contains images, but they're highly compressible line drawings.
Two trillion people living in the Outer Solar System, inhabiting 4 km wide habitat pairs with a population density of Manhattan:

This costs about 1000 tons/person, adding up to ~0.001% of materials available in the local moons.
I don't see buildings.
I see potential vending locations:
Full parking lot = opportunity
Long lines at food court = opportunity
New apartment complex = opportunity
Office with no food nearby = opportunity
Train your eyes to spot opportunities.
This vending machine makes me $1,200/month.
But instead of me splitting profits with the owner...
He actually pays me to have my machine at the location.
I wasn't going to reveal this strategy…
But here it is:
🧵
$600 profit on 1 machine isn't life changing money…
But it's enough to cover your grocery bill for the entire month.
Imagine you had 5, 10 or even 20 machines.
I own over 50 machines which allows me to take home $25k+/mo for 1 hour of work every week.
If I can do it, you can too.
Google published a 69-page whitepaper on Prompt Engineering and its best practices, a must-read if you are using LLMs in production:
