  I remember one vacation to Orlando where we went to Disney and then Lego land. At Disney they’ll put walls around construction and then add these inspirational posters like “excuse our dust while we reimagine your dreams” or whatever. At Lego land they had the same plywood walls but then these plaques with some ISO-compliant safety icons and a message like “construction area: trespassing may cause death”.

  Perhaps the government should collect money from the AI companies — they could call it something simple, like “taxes” — and distribute the money to anyone who had ever written something that made its way to the internet (since we can reasonably assume that everything posted online has now been sucked in to the slop machines)

  Yup got it. In that context mega-dragon makes sense. I can’t wait until we actually understand what the hell gravity even is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4 fundamental forces⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. But try pulling a proton out of an atom for 2 seconds.

  I was more just speaking to how it’s many orders of magnitude weaker than the other 3 forces. Though it does work on an infinite scale, so maybe it ought to be a tiny bit unbelievably long vaguely dragon-shaped worm thing.

  Shouldn’t gravity be like a tiny, vaguely dragon-shaped worm off in another field?

  I mean messing with the strong force in a fistful of atoms gets you a nuclear bomb. Meanwhile, my old, achy self can jump up and resist against a whole earth’s worth of gravitational force.

  Not to mention if you’re out on a surfboard you probably don’t want to be wearing a weight belt :)
