… I personally like the idea of ppl exploring new ideas regardless if they’re helping our immediate problems.
i always wondered if people like william gilbert or otto guericke ever had to endure derision from people due to their experimentation w electricity well before its impact could be known.
some part of me wants to hear overconfident and dogmatic responses like: “electricity?!!! who tf would ever need such a useless thing?!”
Humanity: The planet is burning and there are several ongoing genocides. We need help!
“Scientists” under capitalism: Best I can do is a second thumb for rich people… How about an “AI” thumb?

I, for one, welcome our new ai controlled thumb overlords.
You want a handful of robotics nerds to overthrow capitalism for you?
