@ollyrobot @LudditeHacker part of the appeal of internet satellite constellations is failsafe-ness and decentralization ... each individual sat is cheap and can be destroyed and replaced in a matter of months
@ollyrobot @LudditeHacker yeah or make it expensive enough that the business isnt profitable anymore would have to become heavily state/military sponsored (which it should be). abandon futile efforts to spread rural broadband and redouble on starlink

@lolitsnotreal_ @mattparlmer i wish we had a situation where we could have these online vaccination records and municipalities that want to require vaccine cards for entry can require you to either show online or offline record

@lolitsnotreal_ @mattparlmer it's dumb how many ppl ive seen get turned down from entering a place in SF b/c they didn't have the card handy on them -- it's harmful to businesses and to customers. if simply removing the vaccine restrictions is not an option then making the process seamless would be next best

@CausabonT @storebrandguy this sentiment is strange to me because there are tons of guys who are obsessed with pet issues -- i don't go around telling them all to be obsessed with {more_pressing_issue} instead. i appreciate that there are folks dedicating their lives to strange concerns

@CausabonT @storebrandguy he does proselytize about it, and that’s fine by me. you’ll find many people who’ll say things like “fixing internet payments is the most pressing issue of our time” and compared to that i find AI xrisk efforts to be quite laudable
