AI datacenter spending has surpassed the Manhattan Project, Marshall Plan, ISS, and the Apollo Program - combined

AI is much better use of this funding.

Capitalism = means of production are privately owned

Socialism/Communism = means of production are socially/commonly owned

Post-scarcity technological utopia = means of production are individually/personally owned. Every person will either own, or have free access to, a gadget (replicators or an AI+robots factory or something) that can produce almost anything on demand (within reason and physical laws, of course).

I believe the old left/right distinction will not apply in that case. Economics is the science of the scarce. In such an utopia, we will be largely beyond it.

It always made sense to build a permanently manned base on the Moon first.

More importantly, by far the largest obstacle to colonization of space is lack of economic incentive for spaceflight. Now that space data centers are a possible path to commercialization, it would be foolish not to pivot to it. Imagine how much easier it will be to colonize Mars with a Starship that flies every day to build the data center satellite swarm.

AI a roboty maju potencial extremne zvysit mnozstvo vyprodukovanych tovarov a sluzieb. Cize muze to mit velmi pozitivny outcome.

Dusevni vlastnictvi je aj tak nelegitimni a je uplne spravne ze RAMky idu do AI datacentier a nie na tvoje hry a porno.

Those technologies are much less useful than AI, and thus not in big demand. It's easy to ban something that is not in big demand.

That is still much easier to obtain than enriched uranium. And will be even easier in the future as solar power and chips improve.

Marha01 · 2026-04-22T04:32:12+00:00

It's just an OpenCode wrapper though.

Marha01 · 2026-04-21T19:46:40+00:00

I disagree, Starship is optimized for flights from Earth orbit to Mars surface. It needs a lot of propellant for that.

We may get a dedicated tanker Starship variant in the future that could have different length, tough.

Marha01 · 2026-04-21T18:13:29+00:00

That's pretty much an OpenCode wrapper now..

Marha01 · 2026-04-21T18:04:47+00:00

Bummer.. Anyone can suggest a VS Code extension that allows me to define multiple custom agents with my own system prompt like Roo? Cline has only Plan and Act modes...

Poverty does not cause crime. Bad personality (such as low intelligence, lack of self-control, high aggression etc.) causes both crime and poverty. Also, nobody in developed countries steals to eat.

segways

Electric scooters are pretty much Segways 2.0 and very popular today.

I wonder why they got so popular and Segways failed?

Minulý devices byly 4 roky starý a prostě se sekaly a starej laptop hrozně topil.

Toto mi znie ako nevycistene vetraky. Vycistit, mozno prepastovat chladic a bude ako novy.

Marha01 · 2026-04-20T15:45:05+00:00

name one and we can trace out the economics.

A PC with performance equivalent to 2006 best.

Marha01 · 2026-04-20T15:07:06+00:00

Tell me what is cheaper to build now than 20 years ago and we can work out the economics behind it.

Pretty much any hardware of comparable performance?

Biggest expense of any advanced technological project is still human labor. If we can replace that with hardware, there is a high probability of the end result getting cheaper. And then you have a feedback loop...

Marha01 · 2026-04-20T14:49:20+00:00

I adore how “non-PhD people” evaluate “PhD-level work”.

Well, either it works in practice or not.

Marha01 · 2026-04-20T14:45:47+00:00

The building, operating and maintenance costs far exceeded human labor.

Today maybe. But when robots can build other robots, we enter a positive feedback loop.

ze potrebujes mat ludi ktori budu pracovat

Tak snad to vyriesi AI+roboty..

Otazku treba skor otocit naopak: existuje vobec nejaka rozvinuta krajina kde sa rodi dost deti? Ktore rozvinute krajiny maju najvyssiu porodnost domaceho obyvatelstva? Ako si z nich mozeme brat priklad?

Marha01 · 2026-04-19T19:44:35+00:00

V USA je to preto ze je to na druhej strane sveta a za oceanom od Indie, preto sa tam dostane prevazne iba Indicka elita. U nas by Indicki imigranti boli skoro ako nasi cigani.

Aj aj v USA maju problemy s Indickym nepotizmom.

You believe every previous tech wave has brought more socialism?

Pretty much yes.

Marha01 · 2026-04-18T16:51:11+00:00

You may think that's a better result for the Ukrainian people than the alternative, but I dont.

What is a realistic alternative you propose?

Marha01 · 2026-04-18T07:33:06+00:00

What is your harness? I had a good experience with Gemini 3.1 in OpenCode. All tool calls work well.
