Actually, they were visiting a factory that used microwaves and had a chocolate bar in their pocket, which melted in their pocket while touring the place.
When liquids turn to gas the absorb heat.
So basically you take some liquid in a pressurized can. You take it inside a house and spray it out as gas, this absorbs heat and makes the room cooler.
Then you take the gas outside and compress it back into a liquid and let it cool down for a while.
Then you take it back into the house and spray it again and repeat.
In practice you wrap this whole process in pipes so you can keep control of where the liquids and gas go.
There are ‘heat pumps’ now which are a cheap way to heat up your house too, which work like reverse refrigerators that ‘refrigerate’ the outside world while the ‘excess’ heat is put in the house.
IT WILL DOOM US ALL (jk I didn’t even read it yet)

Cool I would like to see smarter chat bots and better parallel processing abilities so thrive can maybe use it.
As long as they don’t become sentient or rebel (as long as they remain obedient), I’m not against it.
Hello, how do you think? Can we use energy from bacteria? Thanks to mitochondria, bacteria gets energy of ATP. But (I repeat my question) can we use energy of ATP? Because, if it really, it can be analogue of oil! I don’t say about real application. But it will cool, if you will develop through the bacteria)
i think you mean ATP not ATF.
Yes, please sorry, on russian language it sounds like ATF. And yes, I’m from Russia
One thing about Neural Networks and AI in general is they don’t need to be so smart to be harmful. IMO the most harmful AI in the world is the facebook newsfeed.
It’s goal is to show you content to keep you on the platform as long as possible. It’s smart enough to work out that showing content that makes you angry and afraid keeps you engaged so it shares that, lots of fake news etc. That’s had a big impact in elections so far and it’s not even very clever.
I’m on a stance for individual AI (each robot having their own AI vs all being connected to one) as well as cybernetic augmentation to improve the human body (ex: robot arms will prob be better than organic arms soon).
The smartphone you have in your pocket is probably better than any human who has ever lived at chess. Isn’t that technosupremecy?
- Humans (and maybe sentient aliens)
- Animals
- AIs
There is specific term for a better AI than our current limited attempts:
Interesting ideas.
I think determining whether a computer system is conscious or sentient is a tricky one. For example the program:
while 1:
print("I am alive, it would be a crime to kill me, I want to live!")
is clearly not conscious, however it will tell you that it is forever.
So say you got a really smart chatbot which can talk eloquently on any subject and is friendly and cool, would that be sentient or conscious? Would it telling you that it is sentient or conscious make any difference? Is there any way you can test the difference between a conscious and unconscious system?
You could make the same argument for humans saying that you are the only conscious human and everyone else acts on pre-recorded impulses. However this is a good argument for slavery and other very bad things so this mindset is discouraged.
You’re not even the only conscious human. Technically speaking you could make arguments that humans aren’t conscious, they just think they are. You could even ask yourself what being conscious even is. Are animals conscious, but just unable to communicate it to us? At this point you’re going full philosophy, and you just have to go with the conclusion ‘idfk lol’
