Imagine being the most wealthy country in the world, moving your manufacturing out of the country, rebuilding your economy around R&D, then cutting funding to your education and research organizations. It’s absolutely insane. There’s nothing left in the US to keep its relevance.

The point was to post a picture of the AI slop, not to get a working PCB.

Taking the best of both worlds (lol) doesn’t put you in the middle of the two things, it lets you surpass them.

Imaginary friend, basically

Seriously. I’m not really sure why a coffee maker needs to have any technology. My electric kettle is about the highest tech thing in the whole process.

Shocked we haven’t got Wisconsin in on this yet

How this didn’t shake people’s faith in Trump blows my mind. He’s clearly one of the dumbest people alive.

I mean, that’s probably what’s keeping US down. The aliens out there are probably from worlds with low enough gravity to make a proper space elevator. And they never come to visit us because our world is just too damn big, you’d need some kind of controlled explosion to get back up from a gravity well that deep.

This is what happens when you refuse to think for yourself and just rely on a TV personality to tell you what to believe.

Religion in general has conditioned Americans to operate this way.

NASA literally invented single crystal solar cells. If we didn’t have that, we’d have even less hope of beating the climate crisis.

You clearly don’t understand how much engineering, medicine, materials science, and other research happens because of manned spaceflight. Plus, there are things you can only study in microgravity.

NASA budgets definitely look big, but the value of the technology produced in that process (and consequently released to the public) dramatically outweighs the input. This has been proven over and over again.

You’d be surprised how much of that tech is used for precisely the purposes you want - feeding people sustainably, healing the sick, etc.

There’s nothing wrong with doing things that are (legitimately) great for America. I’d love to do things that are great for Russia and Israel too… but it’s unlikely that the leadership in those countries would consider them “great” actions.

RLHF was a fundamental mistake. Human feedback almost always trains an AI to be sycophantic because humans in general are super easy to flatter.

We are building the perfect addiction machine, far more powerful than social media is, and it actively undermines the honesty of the system.

It’s a finger under heavy magnification, if you’re not joking.

If you are, it’s because they wanted to demonstrate how e-fish-ient their new technology is.

Haha that picture shows one on a finger. It’s literally half the size of a single ridge of your fingerprint. Like a speck of dust.

The robot’s electrokinetic propulsion exploits microscale physics. Platinum electrodes drive fluid flow with no moving parts at around 60 nanoamperes. Four electrodes enable translation, rotation, and arcing. They currently operate at 1 volt, but could reach 10 times faster speeds near water’s electrolysis limit.

Electric field propulsion, apparently

We’re edging towards French Revolution style turmoil. The billionaires and CEOs should be taking notes - this will keep happening unless something changes.

It’s a marketing pitch. They’re showing why the US should buy their tech

I always assumed nanoscale robots would need to be lithography-based. Seems that was right. On the other hand, I assumed a MEMS actuator… their solid state propulsion is very interesting.

I won’t stop them, I will just socially shame them with an intent to stop them.

You have all the tact of a conversion therapy camp. I have nothing more to say to a closed-minded person like you.
