The concept of immortality has existed long before alchemy. Long before John Dee was born even.

It’s a dream that people have been actively working on for centuries.

While I will say that mercury pills are unlikely to get us there, immortality itself is not a pipe dream.

Humans will not stop until we create an immortal being.

well i don't assume agi is a thing that can feasibly happen, and the well deserved ai winter will get in the way at any rate

i'll say more, if you think that it's remotely possible you've fallen for openai propaganda

openai/anthropic crowd/cult (the people that work there, not fans) will with straight face claim that both llms will form agi and that agi can self-improve recursively this way, and about nobody else does that

AGI that quickly transitioned to ASI (since that’s theoretically what would happen once the first happens)

yeah according to people who also say that idiot plagiarism machines are gonna be machine gods one day, you will all see, and also coincidentally the same people who make them

every time i read what he writes i feel dumber from the contact

"i'm employed, what does it mean?" is common on r/shitposting when some obscure online/weeb thing surfaces. probably in a dozen of other places also

ohhhh nooooo did actions happened to have consequences??

you say STEM, but you seem to mean almost exclusively computer touchers, already mentioned biologists or variety of engineers won't likely have these problems (i'm not gonna be excessively smug about this because my field will destroy you physically while still being STEM and not particularly glorious)

also it's not a complete jobocalypse, there's still 93% employed fresh CS grads, they might have comparatively shittier jobs, but it's not a disaster (unless picture is actually much bleaker in that that unemployment is, say, concentrated in last 2 years of graduates, but still even in this case it's maybe 10%, 12% tops for the worst affected). unless you mean their unlimited libertarian flavoured greed coming through it, then yeah, it's pretty funny

even then, there's gonna be a funny rebound when these all genai companies implode, partially maybe not in top earner countries, but places like eastern europe or india will fill that openai-sized crater pretty handily, if that mythical outsourcing to ai happened in the first place, that is

he predates for iq points

ed zitron must feel so vindicated rn https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/07/the-high-costs-and-thin-margins-threatening-ai-coding-startups/

not even a couple of small rocks? smh

if valley had fresh ideas for profitable business, they wouldn't go full into ai in the first place. lol

big brained sfba ceos try to make reality in the image of scifi that they misinterpreted when they watched it 15 years ago, and go around building torment nexii. behold, disruption! (snow crash|ready player one|who knows what else)

par of the course for him, i guess, look up akon city

it's just something that attracts grifters to russia ig

who's the bigger fish that's gonna eat them?

the stupidest thing about it is that there already is commercial low sodium table salt, and it substitutes part of sodium chloride with potassium chloride, because the point is to decrease sodium intake, not chloride intake (in most of cases)

otoh E contains active warzone and D two of them or more, depending on how you count
