Here are some links I found interesting- without comment.
An illustration from the internet.
A quote.
“We don’t need to imagine a Butlerian Jihad against AI, just the same death by a thousand cuts that has strangled nuclear power for the last eight decades.” – Bryan Caplan
I enjoyed this sentence from Bucky Fuller’s Energy Slaves:
“Why care about burning 4000 kJ worth of fuel to drive to the local store for a 400 kJ snack when the energy slaves are waiting to take you?”
Actually, the math seems off–I would expect that the drive to the store would expend more than ten times the energy contained in the snack.
