>If [the AI] is better than you at everything, it's better than you at building AIs. That snowballs. The AI gets an immense technological advantage. If it's smart, it doesn't announce itself. It doesn't tell you that there's a fight going on. It emails out some instructions to one of those labs that'll synthesize DNA and synthesize proteins from the DNA and get some proteins mailed to a hapless human somewhere who gets paid a bunch of money to mix together some stuff they got in the mail in a vial (smart people will not do this for any sum of money. Many people are not smart). [The AI, through the hapless human] builds the ribosome, but the ribosome that builds things out of covalently bonded diamondoid instead of proteins folding up and held together by Van der Waals forces. It builds tiny diamondoid bacteria. The diamondoid bacteria replicate using atmospheric carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sunlight. And a couple of days later, everybody on earth falls over dead in the same second.

The other morning I was staring at a lone hair follicle close to my eye while the sun cast light into my room and I am 99% certain I saw little gaps in the strand. Is it safe to conclude I witnessed atoms or are you guys gonna crush my dreams?

solution
>ADHD brain is still capable of forming habits
>habit = behavior that takes 0 mental / emotional behavior
>form habit surrounding tasks that need to be finished
>the lack of dopamine from said task is irrelevant since task is habitual and thus requires no mental effort
>ADHD solved???

>ask for money
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong but this idea of an electrostatic field that should generate trust thanks to the asymmetry sounds to me like the story of the man who got inside a bucket and tried to lift himself by pulling the handle.
Here's the patent anyway:

I am almost done my phys degree but never tried too hard because I never wanted a Phd or masters. Now I'm talking with my classmates and proffs and it seems that to get any shitass work you have to have a Phd.
Are STEM degrees actually meme degrees just like gender studies with no work? What do I even go into with just a bachelors?

Hello, /sci/. I'm strongly in the belief that we learn best through doing things ourselves but I'm afraid that I'm entering a lab course this fall where it's very likely I will be assigned to a group with 1-2 partners. Should I just tell my partner that I'll do all the work myself? I'm kind of a perfectionist and if my partner screws that up, I'll probably drop out of school yet again.

Lack of creativity in modern science and academia. I'm in my mid 30s and going to school for engineering and eventually medicine, a presentation I'm putting together for my intro to engineering class is on the lack of creativity and imagination in modern science and how the academic institutions are pushing a purely mechanical and knowledge based approach to their curriculum. This along with thousands of third world diploma mill graduates and DEI in the field are causing stagnation as the modern thought process of students has become "if I know x materials I can go into x field" or the students who are literally just trying to get in with xx government agency/company and thinking they will be spoon fed their projects like they did during school.
I have been witnessing this lack of dreams/goals in the majority of students I see and it doesn't feel like people have any dreams or passions they want to achieve or pursue and are just using it as a means to an end.
It feels like I'm projecting but I like these kids and I think they could really make a difference if they were pushed in a better direction.
