  • Damn, man. I didn’t realize that designer babies, a developing field with only a few present applications, had already been set in stone. Evidently you got the dr Manhattan gene, given your foreknowledge.

  • I mean, until costs fall, sure. Unless you project human society to fall within 40 years, it will eventually reach common use in modern countries. Workers with fewer sick days are a government’s wet dream. Though I’m also worried about us becoming the next walnut tree, if we accidentally open a vulnerability.

    I’m not going to weigh in on its use as a style decision. Hopefully a country with the ability to create a code of ethics takes the lead on the technology.

  • shipping container size

    That’s far smaller than I expected. I also don’t imagine it will be cheap. If they manage to make it less than $100,000 then I’ll be baffled. Less than $500,000 and I’ll be excited for the possibilities in my lifetime.

  • I don’t mind designer babies, personally. Hot people with fewer genetic disorders? Sounds alright to me. Though I’m worried our eugenic future might lead to diminishing gains in science.

    With all due respect to scientists everywhere, the fact that people look the way that they do certainly pushes some away from special interests like sports and interpersonal skills and instead toward producing nanosheets under specific constraints.

  • Presently true in the UK. Just like normalcy, evil is entirely subjective and location and time period based.

  • Alright, so I’ve decided that characteristics held by 1/10th of the population are evil. I’ve got left handedness, homosexuality, and green eyes. What else is there?

  • So anyway, I pumped one of the biggest bubbles in history again

  • I don’t go to this school, but I opened the site. It’s a bit slow.

  • Legit question. Can the ring influence targeting computers over long distances? Or modern LLMs?

  • “It’s [current year] blazing saddles.”

    “It’s Martian manhunter but demon in a bottle”

    “It’s Dracula, but from Dracula’s perspective.”

    They’re interesting premises and easily understood. I can’t knock smith for choosing them. You never know what’ll end up on the editor’s floor. There might have been a better cut somewhere in there

  • How’d you make a fully blank comment? Even the raw info is blank.

  • I audibly gasped when he didn’t refer to Khan as “Mr Singh”

  • That’s the guy. And it looks like he changes his thumbnails and titles over time. At the time, it was solely the (currently) $200 video with an incendiary title.

  • No, I don’t use any google services on my computer. That does seem appealing, if I ever decide to start, though. Bookmarked

  • I certainly remember when it really ramped up. I recall a “prankster” a little over 10 years ago who went to jail for going to “the hood” with a mystery package that he implied held a bomb. People online have been terrible for a long while, but this nonsense wasn’t recommended to me for several years. I can only imagine what might have spurred the algorithm to believe that race baiting was worth recommending.

    As an aside, trump ruining the internet further wasn’t on my bingo card.

  • Clickbait is going too far. I clicked a recommended video the other week. It was a professional power lifter pretending to be a janitor to elicit reactions as he swept weights aside like nothing was there. The thumbnail was about a black man raging at the power lifter for misleading him.

    My first thought was “this can’t be real. There’s no chance anyone reacted that way to minor chicanery.” Sure enough, the black dude was incredibly nice. The power lifter put up a racial stereotype with the guy’s face attached solely to get views. What if someone he knew saw the thumbnail and started wondering about him? The modern internet is a dumpster fire and I hate it.

  • Had I been raped as an infant by an immortal who would eventually go on to become an avid twitter user, I wouldn’t kill millions of people, but I would certainly think about it.

  • That’s where I settled as well. “Change the world” level money for, at most, a few hundred hours of work. Probably closer to a dozen, if that. You’d be a fool to pass it up

  • Ah, I gotcha now. Yeah, it’s definitely just goatse+1 penis. The spout and sink aren’t even reminiscent of any plumbing I’ve ever seen.
