The risk of unmitigated climate change leaving earth unable to support colonies over a time frame shorter than that in which they can become self-sustaining is significant. I suspect that overshoot- wearing out one's planet, collapsing your civilization- is the reason for Fermi's paradox.

I think we can have colonies supported from the home planet within decades. Although the most hospitable places on Mars are far less hospitable than the worst parts of Antarctica, I like the idea of Mars colonies. I'd much rather have Kim Stanley Robinson than Elon to decide how we do that.

Well, there was that bit about Donna Brazile giving Hillary the debate questions ahead of time. www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/417...

"He then did whatever he could to ensure that Donald would win the election".

Now he didn't. He told his supporters to vote for her. I started out backing him and ended up going door to door for her the weekend before the election. Half of us who showed up to do that were former Sanders supporters.

Wouldn't this be more a classic machine learning problem than something you would expect to use a large multimidal model for? That would be AI but not generative per se.

We are observing the reason for the Fermi paradox.

O.1 percent is 1000 ppm. That's actually a huge shift when it comes to carbon. We are seeing issues at 400 ppm and 600 will be enough to dramatically change the climate.
